This 9-week blind competition is relentlessly focused on women’s heart health. Launching on National Wear Red Day, nominees work to build campaign plans, recruit Impact teams, and inspire their networks to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission.

Heart disease unfairly targets women, who have been left out of research, testing, treatment, and funding. Women have been underrepresented, undertreated, and undercounted. The American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement’s Woman of Impact campaign is working to improve that. Together, we can engage more women in research.
