“We can’t say enough about Dawn’s leadership and dedication to
the AHA cause. She masterfully and passionately led a committee of
Philadelphia-based executives in a heartfelt effort to combat heart
disease and stroke. The Go Red For Women Initiative has more
momentum than ever before in this area as we forge ahead with
helping women live healthier, stronger lives,” said Laura Hollot,
Executive Director, American Heart Association, Greater
Philadelphia.
Nutrisystem, Inc. has been a local sponsor of the Go Red for
Women Campaign for the past three years and revealed it will
continue its sponsorship in 2018.
“It was truly an all hands-on deck effort and I’m incredibly
appreciative of the unprecedented response from so many people who
generously contributed their time and funds to such an important
cause,” commented Zier. “I’m especially thankful for the efforts of
the Go Red For Women Executive Leadership Team, the American Heart
Association staff and for the support we received from our
Nutrisystem board of directors, employees and partners who donated
so graciously to this campaign.”
“Our efforts culminated at the Go Red for Women luncheon this
past May where more than 100 companies from across the region were
in attendance,” added Zier. “Partnering with the AHA was a
privilege and it’s my sincere hope we’ve made, and will continue to
make, a meaningful difference in elevating awareness around heart
disease and stroke, and the solutions available to decrease their
risk factors.”
Go Red For Women is a part of the American Heart Association’s
efforts to rid all Americans of heart disease and stroke. Go Red
inspires women to take control of their heart health by further
exploring their family history, their numbers and by listening and
taking care of their bodies. Fundraising led by Zier and the Go Red
For Women Executive Leadership Team supports innovation and
research in Philadelphia, and throughout the nation.
