Go Red for Women supporters raised their glasses and their paddles at Be The Beat: A Go Red for Women Experience at Block 41. The American Heart Association and event chairperson, Claire Verity, Market President of Regence BlueShield, welcomed about 240 guests to the event designed to shine a spotlight on women’s cardiovascular health and specifically the event theme focused on the need for CPR training.
The evening included a cocktail hour, inspiring dinner program, live auction, musical performance and two stories of survival by young women who are proof that cardiovascular disease affects women at all stages of life.
Through the 2023 event, $1 million has been raised for Go Red for Women in the Puget Sound to fund advances in research and medical treatments and to reduce the number of women dying from heart disease and stroke.
