Baltimore residents are used to seeing downtown buildings and monuments illuminated in purple come NFL playoff time in support of the hometown Ravens. But what's with the red light enveloping City Hall and the Washington Monument all this month?
In honor of the American Heart Association's national "Go Red for Women" campaign, Sinai Hospital is sponsoring the illumination of the landmark structures. Both historic buildings will be cloaked in a red light, sunset to sunrise, all month.
The project is meant to emphasize the commitment to changing the lives of women in Baltimore City.
?Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association?s solution to save women?s lives," said Neil Meltzer president-elect of the American Heart Association and president/COO of Sinai Hospital. ?With more than one of three women dying from cardiovascular disease, we will continue to fight this No. 1 killer by helping women turn simple choices into life-saving actions.?
