The Live to the Beat campaign is led by the CDC Foundation and the Million Hearts® initiative. Live to the Beat aims to reduce CVD risk among Black adults ages 35–54 with a focus on moving more, eating better, quitting smoking and addressing key risk factors like hypertension, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. The campaign, which has assets to help address cardiovascular disease in Black adults in the United States, seeks community ambassadors and partnering organizations. You can learn more about the Community Ambassador program, and other resources on the Live to the Beat Campaign "About" page.

February is American Heart Month and Friday, February 3 is National Wear Red Day. This year’s Heart Month and Wear Red Day communication toolkit encourages people to “Heart to Hearts about Heart Health.” The toolkit has sample social media messages and images, talking points, promotional articles, and other great resources to promote heart health.
