Our district is proud to participate in the American Heart Association’s Go Red District Heart Challenge! We want to inspire staff to get their blood pressure checked, be active and learn about how to keep our hearts healthy. By partnering with the American Heart Association, we will raise awareness and help fight heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 killer and No. 5 killers of Americans.
On Friday, February 7th, our district will GO RED to support the mission of the American Heart Association – building healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. T-Shirts must be ordered by Wednesday, January 15th to receive them in time for National Wear RED Day. The campus with the highest percentage of donations will receive a healthy snack basket for your breakroom!
HOW TO ORDER: Simply text DHCSHERMAN to 41444. You will immediately receive a link to a quick donation form. You can also CLICK HERE or the image below to order online!
