SANTA BARBARA — Pinot and purses, two of a girl’s best friends, will be combined for a fun-filled philanthropic evening benefitting the American Heart Association’s fight to end heart disease in women. The event will take place on Tuesday, April 10, 2018, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Salon U, 1719 State Street, in Santa Barbara. A silent auction will feature an array of both vintage and new handbags. Jewelry by MAD Dream Jewelry Design will also be available for purchase. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
The AHA is currently accepting donations of new or gently used designer purses for the auction. All donations received on or before April 6 will receive one free ticket of admission to the event. Tickets are $20, with proceeds benefitting the Go Red For Women Movement, and can be purchased by visiting GoRedSB.heart.org.
The annual Go Red For Women campaign raises awareness that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, and encourages them to take preventive measures to reduce their risk. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life. On a national level, the Go Red For Women movement has resulted in 650,000 women’s lives being saved over the last 10 years.
The Go Red For Women Movement is sponsored nationally by Macy’s and CVS. For more information, contact (805) 963-8862 or SBevents@heart.org.
