Burlington Stores sponsored this blog post. The opinions and text are all mine.
I never really made any official resolutions for the new year, but I have taken steps to improve upon my overall health. Starting in January I have made my way to the gym a few times per week and I am working on adding more workout time to my routine in addition to eating healthier. Why? It’s not all about vanity.
Just about 43 million women are currently living with heart disease which is the leading cause of death of American women. I’ve had a few scares over the last year with my heart and I am committed to taking steps to reduce my risk of heart disease. Regular exercise has so many great benefits for our mind and body, including reducing your risk of heart disease by 30-50%.
Burlington has partnered with WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease to raise funds and awareness. The organization educates women about the importance of heart health and supports women living with this chronic and life-threatening disease. Burlington locations are also participating in the Heart of Fitness Tour this month in honor of American Heart Month which will help participants learn the ins and outs of heart health and receive complimentary screenings.
If you’d like to contribute you can visit your local Burlington store and contribute $1 or more at checkout from now until March 31st. Burlington will also donate $1, up to $25,000, to WomenHeart for every dress sold during that timeframe.
What a great campaign, love burlington. We used to shop at Burlington all the time when I lived in MN, such great prices especially if you have kids.
I don’t shop at Burlington. However this is a fantastic thing they are doing :)
great cause! I will have to go support Burlington in the drive to help rid the world of heart disease
Great promotion and I Like when companies get involved and give back in some way.
This is such a great idea. I love when companies give back in some way.
Burlington has been on this for a while I think. I think it is great what they are doing!
What a great campaign. Heart disease runs in my family so I will support this campaign.
This is amazing, I love the idea of a party with red dresses; this is something I’d love to attend.
Being a mom of four Burlington is a go-to store for me, I look forward to stopping in soon and contributing to this awesome cause! Way to go Burlington! Supporting Heart Health is very important and near and dear to my (no pun intended) heart. ;-)
What a great thing they are doing. Love when businesses offer up things for good.
