National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 3

By American Heart Association | January 27, 2023

National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 3, 2023. Together, we can wear red and be the BIG difference for a better life for women everywhere.

National Wear Red Day® is the icon day of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women®. Each year on the first Friday in February, our nation comes together to raise awareness about our No. 1 killer of both women and men- cardiovascular disease – by wearing red and spreading lifesaving information. This year, we’re inviting people to Be the Beat by keeping their healthy rhythm going and learning Hands-Only CPR. Why? Because about 70% or nearly 3 in 4 cardiac arrests that happen outside of the hospital happen in homes. If you are called on to perform CPR, it will likely be for someone you love.

What to do on National Wear Red Day:

Wear RED
Take a photo and share it on social media using #WearRedDay and #WearRedandGive and tag the American Heart Association
