What is Circle of Red?
Circle of Red is a passionate and committed group of women and men who contribute significant resources and influence in support of the Go Red For Women cause. Their involvement is critical in driving local support to fund lifesaving research and to educate women. By making a personal investment in the movement, they are changing and saving lives. Will you join us?
Your donation:
- Saves lives. Since the movement’s inception in 2004, we have saved over 670,000 women’s lives.
- Empowers women. Nearly 90% of Go Red participants have made healthy lifestyle changes.
- Educates physicians. More physicians recognize women’s symptoms and responses to medication differ from men’s.
- Funds research. Go Red has helped to fund research grants in the Twin Cities aimed at fighting cardiovascular disease and stroke.
- Fights gender-specific inequalities. The FDA is now required to report on the extent to which clinical trial results are reported by gender, making it easier to draw conclusions about the disease’s effects on women.
- Enables advocacy. Women no longer pay higher premiums than men for the same health insurance coverage.
- Increases awareness. Of women who die, 1 in 30 die of breast cancer. 1 in 3 die of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
