True to its name, the inaugural Go Red for Women gathering at First Baptist Gainesville brought out hundreds of women — and a handful of men — sporting all different shades of red. Event Chair Mimi Collins said the expo and luncheon aimed to educate and raise awareness on the high risk of heart disease for women. “The American Heart Association has put a special focus on women for a number of years with this initiative … and we’re hoping through events like this to raise awareness of the prevalence of heart disease in women,” Collins said.
