Girly Girl Wines™ is raising money and awareness for women’s heart disease one bottle at a time during the month of February.

Woodinville, WA 1/17/2012 – Statistics from the American Heart Association show that one in three women in America dies from heart disease. That’s why we at Girly Girl Wines™ are determined to do everything we can to help fight against this illness. In addition to helping
spread awareness about women’s heart disease, we’re proud to help support the cause as well with our adDRESS Your Heart Promotion in retail store throughout the Pacific Northwest. This February, Girly Girl Wines™ will make a $1.00 donation per bottle sold during the promotion period to the American Heart Association. Customers need only purchase a Girly Girl Wine™ and activate the purchase at girlygirlwines.com/heart.

Girly Girl Wines™ will also be raising awareness at our adDRESS Your Heart event held at our Woodinville tasting room on February 23^rd, 2012 from 5:00pm – 9:00pm. Entry fee is $20 and includes a glass of wine, 4 raffle tickets, food, live music, wine tasting and cake balls from dianne’s Delights. 20% of all revenue on the 23^rd will be donated to the American Heart Association for their Go Red campaign. For more information on our adDRESS Your Heart event, please send an email to info@girlygirlwines.com.

Throughout the year, Girly Girl Wines™ donates a portion of its proceeds to raise awareness for women’s causes. “The more awareness and brand loyalty we have, the more we can raise to give back.” Says Karen Ward, Director of Sales and Marketing for WWBC, “It’s amazing the power
women have when they are passionate about a cause.” Since its inception in May 2010, Girly Girl Wines™ has donated over $25,000 in cash and product combined.
