Red wine, dark chocolate and golf can be heart smart for women, and what better time for lady golfers to learn more than on Leap Year Day (Feb. 29)!
During a special Women Take Heart™ program, women can sip wine, tour the winery, sample chocolates and discover ways to live a heart healthy lifestyle from a cardiologist and nutritionist.
Women Take Heart™, a program developed by The Hope Heart Institute, creates awareness and provides tools for healthier living to combat heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women. “The Hope,” a Washington-based heart-disease charity, was one of the beneficiaries of proceeds from the 2011 Golf Fore Red tournament for women; the two organizations are co-presenting the Feb. 29 event.
Golf Fore Red™, founded in 2007 by two Seattle-area women who both lost their mother’s to heart disease, combines education, fun and fund-raising for heart disease research. This year’s annual event is scheduled for Saturday, July 28 at The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge.Â
