Today was the American Heart Association’s Go RED for Women annual luncheon. Many, many women and a few men, all dressed in at least one red article of clothing, turned out at the Hilton for this event. If you would like to know more about the American Heart Association and Go Red for Women, you can find more information HERE.

There were lots of informational boothes set up for people to take a look at before the lunch was served.

Kimberly Smoot Photography was thanked in the program for photographing the emcees of the event. Dina Michaels, 103.7 WDBR Morning Show Host and Julie Staley from ABC NewsChannel 20 are always fun to work with! I photographed them last year for this event too.

The speaker, Elizabeth Hein, was awesome! She was a healthy, 27-year-old runner when she had a heart attack in 1996. Fortunately, she survived, and has been able to turn her experience into an inspirational message she is passionate about sharing with others. I talked to Elizabeth after her presentation and told her it wasn’t fair to make the photographer cry! I was touched by her genuine kindness.
