The Nation Goes Red in February

National Wear Red Day® – Friday, February 7, 2020

On the first Friday of every February, which is designated as American Heart Month, the nation comes together, igniting a wave of red from coast to coast. From landmarks to news anchors and neighborhoods to online communities; this annual groundswell unites millions of people for a common goal: the eradication of heart disease and stroke.


American Heart Month, a federally designated event, is an ideal time to remind Americans to focus on their hearts and encourage them to get their families, friends and communities involved.                                           

-The first American Heart Month, which took place in February 1964, was proclaimed by President Lyndon B. Johnson via Proclamation 3566 on December 30, 1963.

I've never heard of National Wear Red Day, so thank you for the information.  I will add a pop of red to my outfit that day to show my support for heart health.

I always noticed the hearts at work and wondered about this!  So Friday February 7, everyone wear red !!

I've heard of this but didn't remember the day, so thanks for the info.  I will wear red, especially since my father died of heart disease, and my husband had a heart operation a few years ago.
