See what they’re saying about Go Red for Women

The Cleveland Cavaliers are proud to support and host the 2023 Go Red for Women experience in Cleveland and advocate for better health for all women. We stand with the American Heart Association in championing health equity and access to care for all. Through the Go Red for Women movement, we hope to empower women to take charge of their health and well-being by getting their heart in the game!

Since younger generations of women, including Gen Z and Millennials, are less likely to be aware of heart disease being their #1 health threat, I am proud to help raise awareness with the younger generation. I am passionate about the American Heart Association’s STEM Goes Red for Girls program and have created a scholarship to help raise awareness and to fuel the future careers of young girls and women who are interested in pursuing the STEM fields.

Go Red is not just about wearing red or sharing heart-health facts. It’s about all women standing together with the American Heart Association to make a difference. We know that Black and Hispanic women are disproportionately impacted by heart disease and stroke, and research shows that heart attacks are also on the rise in younger women. That is why University Hospitals Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute has championed this cause as a presenting sponsor. It is important to us that all women take charge, advocate for their own health, and encourage others to do the same.”
