AHA Blood Pressure Screening at Macy's





It was such an honor to represent the Miss Colorado International organization at this event. Macy’s is one of the national sponsors of the American Heart Association. At this event, I was able to speak with customers about their risk for heart disease. We provided informational handouts and also a blood pressure screening station. It was such an amazing event and I met a lot of wonderful people. The girls conducting the blood pressure screening checks absolutely loved trying on my crown and banner. They were all amazing women by volunteering their time, on a Saturday, to help spread the word about heart disease in women. Macy’s also offered a 20% discount to patrons who came into the store that day. I have always told my Dad that shopping promoted a healthy lifestyle. :)

Art Show Fundraiser for AHA




Beautiful art and great company…while raising money for the Heart Ball! Fascination St. Fine Art hosted an art showing showcasing artist Fabio Napoleoni. Each painting purchased was signed by the artist and he donated 20% of the purchase to the American Heart Association. This event was extremely touching because Fabio’s daughter had to deal with heart disease at an early age.
