Go Red for Women at McBurney!

February 5th is National Wear Red Day. Please wear red to the Y on Friday February 5th

to help us raise awareness of heart disease in women.

To celebrate, McBurney will be running an open house. Staff and volunteers will be on

hand all day to talk about women’s heart health, provide screenings, offer healthy snacks,

and encourage all of our members to bring a friend. Since we are so

happy that folks are taking the first step toward great heart

health by trying the Y, we will be waiving the joiner’s fee for

anyone who wants to make a commitment to themselves by

joining the Y that day. And don’t forget, if they tell us that

you sent them, you get a thank you gift when they join.
