The Red Dress Fashion Show will be presented by BestHealth, Belk department store and the Heart Center of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Television anchor Rosemary Plybon from WFMY-TV, the CBS affiliate in Greensboro, will host the show.
Models will include men and women ranging in age from the very young to the young at heart whose stories of their challenges with heart disease will be inspiring and uplifting.
