From WNYT.com:

The American Heart Association held its annual Go Red for Women luncheon at the Capital Center in Albany on Friday. More than 400 people attended.

The event is all about raising awareness and money to help fight heart disease, which is the number one killer of women.

More than $270,000 was raised.

Around $54,000 of that was from an auction, led by a Bethlehem High School senior who is a heart disease survivor and the world’s youngest certified benefit auctioneer.

This is the 20th year for this event, and it comes as the American Heart Association celebrates its centennial this year.
