National Wear Red Day
Today is National Wear Red Day. This is an initiative of the American Heart Association to bring greater awareness to the prevalence of heart disease and stroke.
The employees at Mississippi Power and Hancock Whitney Bank were just some of the people who took part in the initiative.
Mississippi Power President and CEO Anthony Wilson will be the 2019 Heart Walk chair and Keith Williams of Hancock Whitney will be one of the members of the leadership team.
Wilson tells News 25 this day is just the start of a month long awareness program. “It’s really part of a big run up all the way to the Heart Walk. That is September 28th. Everybody needs to get that on their calendars. That’s a big day. We raise a lot of money for the American Heart Association and also it just raises awareness in general for the need for people to lead a heart healthy lifestyle.”
