Zier to Lead Fundraising Campaign to Raise
Awareness and Help Combat Heart Disease and Stroke
Nutrisystem (NASDAQ: NTRI), a leading provider of weight
management products and services, today announced that CEO Dawn
Zier has been named 2017 Chair of the American Heart Association
(AHA) Go Red For Women Initiative in Philadelphia. Zier will lead a
committee of Philadelphia-based executives who will help to raise
awareness for and combat heart disease and stroke. The Go Red For
Women Initiative makes a passionate call to action for women to
live healthier, stronger lives.
“Working in the weight loss industry, it’s nearly impossible not
to address the prevalence of heart disease and stroke in women,”
said Zier. “The risk of these two diseases affects many of our
customers and by championing this cause, we’re doing our part to
educate individuals and help them understand the solutions
available to decrease that risk. Maintaining a healthy weight is
one of those solutions and we’re proud to join the AHA in this
effort. ”
“The American Heart Association is thrilled that Dawn Zier will
chair Philadelphia’s 2017 Go Red for Women Campaign,” says Laura
Hollot, AHA’s Philadelphia Metro Executive Director. “Nutrisystem
shares AHA’s dedication to health and wellness for all Americans,
and we look forward to Dawn’s leadership.”
Nutrisystem has been a local sponsor of the Go Red For Women
initiative for the past two years and will continue this
sponsorship in 2016 and 2017. Robin Shallow, Nutrisystem Vice
President, Communications, will join the 2016 Go Red Executive
Committee.
In addition to its support of the AHA, since 2009 Nutrisystem
has been a National Strategic Partner of the American Diabetes
Association, and an active participant in the Philadelphia Step
Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes. In 2014, the Company became a VIP
sponsor and Zier served as co-chair of the Walk.
