Go Red for Women

Friday, May 2nd , 2008 was the 3rd Annual Go Red for Women Empowerment Luncheon at The Savannah Center.

Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association's nationwide movement that celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together and fight heart disease, the No. 1 killer of American women.

A study released in the Journal of the American Medical Association tells us that small amounts of dark chocolate (one piece of a 16 piece bar, or around 30 calories a day) when taken daily for about 18 weeks can lower blood pressure, which in turn can help reduce the risk of stroke or death from coronary artery disease.

CARSON wrappedhersheys.com donated 500 Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bars for the attendees at the luncheon.
