2022 METRO JACKSON
Women of IMPACT
The American Heart Association, Metro Jackson is proud to celebrate
the inaugural class of Woman of Impact, a complement to the
Metro Jackson Go Red for Women movement. Over the past few
months, AHA received nominations for a select group of local
women to be recognized for their passion and drive in building
stronger communities. The areas of impact were limitless –
from healthcare to philanthropy, from business to faith.
If they “lead with heart,” they were eligible for nomination.
Women of Impact are changemakers, dedicated to making a
lasting impact on the health of the Metro Jackson community;
women who lead by example, improving the well-being of those
around them. By joining the Go Red for Women movement as a
Woman of Impact, each honoree has assembled their own team
of volunteers, set a fundraising goal, and made a meaningful impact
on the health and wellbeing of the Metro Jackson community.
The 2022 Class has set a goal to raise a minimum of $50,000
for the Metro Jackson Go Red for Women movement! Their
fundraising campaigns kick off on “National Wear Red Day”
Friday, February 4th and will conclude on “World Heart Day”
Thursday, April 7th. The 2022 Woman of Impact nominees
will be featured at the Go Red for Women Luncheon, and all
ten women will be honored for their work to raise awareness
for women’s heart disease and fund scientific research and
educational programs right here in Mississippi.
Special thanks to our
Women of Impact sponsor,
Mississippi Baptist Medical Center.
