    Red Dress Sundays

     

    Open to all Charleston-area churches & houses of worship

    Sundays in February

    SEE THE VIDEO

    Red Dress Sunday began in February 2005 with three African-American and Latino churches in Baltimore. It has grown to include more than 180 places of worship in Maryland, Florida, Georgia, and Delaware. In 2019, we brought it to Charleston, South Carolina!

    Protect your members

    Heart disease is the # 1 cause of death among women, yet most women don’t know about the threat. We're committed to raising their awareness! Our goal for this event is to ensure Charleston's women know about heart disease — how to recognize symptoms, how to treat it, and most importantly, how to prevent it in the first place.

    Join us!

    In 2019, this inaugural month-long event took place at multiple houses of worship across Charleston on a Sunday in February as chosen by each church. Participants wore red to bring attention to heart disease as they learned about risk factors and more... plus they came away with materials showing them how to live a heart-healthy lifestyle. 

    SIGN UP FOR 2020

    We thank these 20 churches across the Charleston region for taking

    part in our inaugural 2019 #RedDressSundays and gospel concert finale! 

    They helped protect the women in their congregations from heart disease:
