Recently Roseau Area Hospital and Homes kicked off its “Go Red” campaign for women’s heart health. The purpose of this program is to help educate women of all ages on healthy heart lifestyles.
As an extension of this highly successful campaign, the RAHH Health Care Fund Advisory Committee is planning a special event to raise funds for the Health Care Fund using the “Go Red” theme.
A formal event entitled “Partners for Health: A Go Red Event” is scheduled for Saturday, November 18, 2006 at the brand new Roseau City Center.
In addition to special entertainment and an incredible dinner prepared by the Twins Corner Cafe of Badger, area artists including Marv Espe, Julie Elick, Frances Karlsson, Sandy Flagstad, Judy Magnusson, Mary Vatnsdal, Jean Honl, and many others from throughout the county have been invited to donate pieces for auction at the event.
Proceeds from the auction, dinner, and other community efforts will help to build the RAHH Health Care Fund.
Only a limited number of tickets will be available for this first-class event. Information on how you can purchase tickets will be available as the event draws closer.
For more information about the “Partners for Health” Go Red event, or to make a contribution to the Health Care Fund, contact Deb Haugen or Milly Prachar at (218) 463-2500.
