Town Center at Boca Raton is inviting the public to kick up its hottest, highest designer red heels in celebration of the arrival of the Red Stiletto Stroll and South Florida debut of The Heart Truth® Red Dress Tour on February 25 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the event that will serve to raise awareness about women and heart disease and benefit the Christine E. Lynn Heart & Vascular Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital are $30.

The Red Stiletto Stroll will feature a fun and flirty shoe competition judged by local fashion celebrities that will award prizes for the hottest, highest, most radiant and best Men’s red heels. Participants will flaunt their footwear on a red carpet complete with a visual “step” and repeat backdrop. Souvenir photos of participants’ fancy footwork will be available for $5 and will also benefit the charity.

Attendees to the reception will be treated to a variety of hors d’oevres and cocktails from Town Center at Boca Raton restaurants such as Blue Martini and Piñon Grill while they preview celebrity dress selections from The Heart Truth Red Dress Tour that will run through Saturday, February 26. Iconic dresses on display include a Badgley Mischka worn by Jennie Garth, a Carmen Marc Valvo worn by Jenna Fischer and a Betsey Johnson worn by Nelly Furtado. The Heart Truth is a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Designed by the NHLBI to raise awareness about women and heart disease, The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection was launched at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in February 2003. Since then, the campaign has returned to every February with a celebrity–studded fashion show featuring designer gowns from Vera Wang, Donna Karan, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Nicole Miller, Badgley Mischka and more.

In addition, the special event will also feature local ruby-hued gowns designed by students at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, an imaginative red shoe fashion showcase, a shoe bar featuring a variety of Town Center retailers and trends to try on and a signature “Stiletto Martini,” a silent auction and raffle prizes. Heart-healthy brochures, heart disease prevention information and signature red dress pins will be available to remind women of the primary message driving The Heart Truth Campaign - "Heart Disease Doesn't Care What You Wear - It's the #1 Killer of Women®."

Tickets for The Red Stiletto Stroll and The Heart Truth Red Dress Event are limited and are available by calling Kimberly M. Read at 561-955-4142 or emailing kread@brrh.com.
