'Red Out' events promote and support women's heart health

Ferris State University will partner with Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital to support women’s heart health in celebration of the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” at three upcoming athletic events. 


Beginning with women’s and men’s basketball on Monday, Feb. 14, Ferris students from the Sports Communication class and Sports Careers Registered Student Organization will run a Red Out week of events and fundraisers for Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital Cardiopulmonary Unit. 

 
Healthy heart information will be available and fundraising will begin before and continue during the women’s basketball game at 5:30 p.m. and men’s basketball game at 7:30 p.m. inside Jim Wink Arena in the Ewigleben Sports Complex Monday, Feb. 14.  The events will continue through Saturday, Feb. 19 and take place during the Ferris hockey games Friday, Feb. 18 at 7:07 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 18 at 6:07 p.m. inside Ewigleben Ice Arena. 


Fans will have an opportunity to participate in two separate silent auctions. The first will run during both basketball games. The other will run during Friday’s hockey game. Also, a chuck-a-puck event will run during Friday’s hockey game. All proceeds will go to Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital.  


“We’re so appreciative of the sports communication and sports careers students for showcasing heart health,” said Beth Langenburg, chief operating officer at Spectrum Health Big Rapids and Reed City Hospitals. “We’re also very thankful to everyone who supports these fundraising efforts that in turn supports our cardiopulmonary unit. This effort every year makes my heart happy.”


The Red Out events will close with a check presentation during the second intermission of the hockey game Saturday, Feb. 19. 

 

To raise awareness for women’s heart health, all spectators are encouraged to wear red.
Ferris’s athletics teams will wear their red jerseys as well.   For more information, contact Sandra Alspach at sandraalspach@ferris.edu, Brendan Sanders at sandeb16@ferris.edu or Brody Keiser at keiserb1@ferris.edu.
