Mirick O'Connell "Goes Red" in Support of the American Heart Association
02/07/2014Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined. For more than 10 years, the American Heart Association has sponsored National Wear Red Day® to raise awareness in the fight against heart disease in women.
Funds raised by the Go Red For Women movement enable the American Heart Association to help women by offering educational programs, increasing women's understanding about their risk for heart disease and supporting research to discover scientific knowledge about heart health.
On Friday, February 7, 2014, for the 11th year in a row, Mirick O’Connell joined the Go Red movement to raise awareness of this critical issue, and to raise funds to support education and medical research. Mirick O’Connell employees showed commitment to the fight against heart disease by raising funds through a $5 jeans day, purchasing raffle tickets and proudly wearing the color red. The Firm also hosted a lunch and learn for its employees to discover ways to be more heart healthy with presentations by cardiac rehab specialists.
Mirick O’Connell’s commitment does not stop there, on Saturday, May 3, 2014; the Firm will be participating in the American Heart Association’s annual Heart Walk.
