MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In commemoration of National Wear Red Day, the American Heart Association, Macy's and Siempre Mujer are celebrating together with Find Your Red shopping parties at Macy's stores, where women all over the country will be able to purchase red clothing and accessories, while learning more about the Go Red for Women campaign.

During the Find Your Red shopping parties, participating women will enjoy a unique shopping experience and will receive special discounts for wearing red or purchasing a Red Dress pin for $2 as a donation to the campaign. 

The goal of Siempre Mujer's partnership is to create awareness in the Latino community about the importance of heart disease prevention. Macy's & AHA have launched the Find Your Red campaign, which encourages women to wear red with style and creativity while promoting the importance of a healthy heart.

Maria Cristina Marrero, Editor-in-Chief of Siempre Mujer magazine, stated that "As a Latina, and knowing that Hispanic women in the United States are 30% more likely to be overweight than non-Hispanic women - which is a terrifying number if you take into account that being overweight is one of the main causes of heart disease – it was important for me to support this cause.  I am delighted to be able to participate in the Find Your Red shopping parties at Macy's during such an important year when the National Wear Red Day campaign celebrates its 10^th anniversary. I find it unacceptable that 1 out of every 3 adult Hispanic women is classified as obese.  Something needs to be done about it and I'm proud that the American Heart Association, Macy's and Siempre Mujer share the same mission."

"At Macy's, we are so proud that we have been a national sponsor of Go Red For Women from its inception. From the in-store experiences, social media campaigns, and, this year, the magnificent lighting of our Herald Square building red, we are always evolving and finding innovative ways to build support and educate our customers," says Martine Reardon, Macy's Chief Marketing Officer. "Since 2004, we have raised $40 million for the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement, helping to fund life-saving research and raise awareness of this preventable disease."

The Find Your Red shopping parties will take place in select Macy's stores throughout the country on January 30 & 31^st, 2013.  Siempre Mujer editors will be on hand to converse with attendees after the presentation of a fashion show with the latest trends and beauty tips to sport the perfect red look.
