Love Yourself!Red Scarf Hearth Health Challenge
|
||||
The Heart ScarfA woman can wear it on her purse, backpack or gym bag. She can tie it to her baby stroller or her dog’s collar. She can give it to a man to hang from his rear view mirror or tuck it in his shirt pocket. Kids can wrap them on their bike handles or display them in their school locker. Wherever it is spotted, the red 2010 women’s heart health scarf is a reminder for all women to gain control of their heart health. |

| Each bandana-style scarf sells for $5 and is available at the winery or Order Online. Additional locations to purchase your scarf are Olympic Medical Center Foundation, Necessities and Temptations, The Toggery, Family Veterinary Clinic, The YMCA, Renaissance and participating local businesses in celebration of National Heart Month.
