About Woman of Impact

Woman of Impact shines a spotlight on women’s health as cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Launching annually on National Wear Red Day®, the first Friday in February, this 9-week competition inspires changemakers from across the U.S. to leverage their networks to create an impact in their community. By forming Impact Teams, participants use their collective influence to educate women on their risks, raise critical dollars to help fund lifesaving research and advocate for the health and well-being of all women – all while earning points for the impact they are making in their community and beyond.

At the end of the campaign, the nominee that makes the greatest impact and raises the most funds will be named their community’s Go Red for Women Woman of Impact winner. The nominee who earns the most points in the country will be named the National Woman of Impact Winner.
