Hundreds attend ‘Boots and Bling’ fundraiser
JACKSON, Tenn.-Hundreds of West Tennessee women put on their ‘boots and bling’ to support the West Tennessee Women’s Center at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.
The 4th annual fundraiser was held at the Jackson Fairgrounds Park where attendees enjoyed a fun-filled night of music and dancing,
all while learning more about the number one killer of women… heart disease.
Cardiologists were also on hand to answer questions. Organizers said it is important for women to know the facts.
“Our whole goal is to have women have something to take home where they know to take care of themselves and can help take care of the people they care about,” said Tammy Hardee, a R.N. at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital.
More than 300 women attended Friday night’s event. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said one in every four female deaths is caused by heart disease.
