February 1, 2008

 

It was a Friday, and everyone was seeing red. On February 1, our Stripes and APT corporate offices joined the nation in showing support to raise awareness for heart disease in women. Our Go Red for Women campaign raised $481 in one day. The “red” atmosphere was not only noticeable in women, but “red” was the fashion item for many men in our offices. 

Stripes and APT raised money by selling red hearts for $1 and red dress lapel pins for $5.  We also held a drawing for a chance to win one of three lunch totes or the grand prize of a large Go Red tote bag filled with healthy snacks and water from our local Stripes store.   To be entered, folks just had to either wear red, donate money, or both.  Leah Young (Marketing), Liza De Los Santos (APT Accounting), and Mary Sparks (Operational Accounting) won a lunch tote. The grand prize winner of the large Go Red tote bag filled with healthy goodies was Twyla De Leon (Payroll).
