Transforming the State of Women's Health
Circle of Red is Go Red for Women’s annual giving society, made up of individuals who are in the fight against cardiovascular disease to win. The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement was created to dispel myths and raise awareness of heart disease and stroke being the No. 1 killer of women.

Today, the Circle of Red stands at the forefront of Go Red for Women’s fight to save women’s lives. Located in communities throughout the United States, Circle of Red advocates use their influence, generosity, and ambassadorship to help increase awareness of the leading cause of death for women – cardiovascular disease.
