Today, February 1st, is National Wear Red Day! This represents the Go Red Movement, a national movement founded by the American Heart Association to help fight back the No. 1 killer of American women, heart disease and stroke.
Too few realize that heart disease can largely be prevented. By wearing red, you’ll help spread the Go Red For Women message “Love Your Heart” that raises awareness of heart disease, and you’ll help the American Heart Association support ongoing research and education about women and heart disease.
Wearing red is only the first step, it’s also very important to get a check up in your own personal fight against heart disease. The American Heart Association has created Go Red Heart CheckUp to help you determine how healthy your heart is, or you can call 1-888-AHA-2222 to learn more.
Your involvement in the Go Red Movement can help save lives of mothers, sisters, aunts, daughters, grandmothers, best friends, and other women just like you!
For more information, please visit Go Red For Women.

I think JOIN(RED) is more about buying specialized company products that are made in the color red for the AIDS cause.
I don’t think it’s attached to any particular day. Pretty sure it’s an ongoing thing compared to this National Red Day for women’s heart disease.
