Join the Veronica Blount Memorial Foundation (VBMF) for the 17th Annual Red Shoe Lunch, an inspiring afternoon dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease, celebrating life, and helping create healthier communities.

​

Saturday, February 27, 2027 | 12:00–3:00 PM
The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta | Atlanta, Georgia

​

For 17 years, the Red Shoe Lunch has brought people together during American Heart Month to honor the life and legacy of Veronica Blount and remind us that heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide.

​

What began in 2011 as an intimate gathering of six women has grown into VBMF’s signature annual event—a powerful afternoon of connection, inspiration, heart-health awareness, philanthropy, and purpose.

​

Proceeds from the Red Shoe Lunch support VBMF’s mission and programs, including our 1 For Every 1 Blood Pressure Monitor Giveaway Program, which provides free blood pressure monitors, education, and resources to individuals and families in underserved communities, including pregnant and postpartum women.

​

Guests will enjoy an elegant afternoon at The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta featuring an inspiring program, special guests, opportunities to support VBMF’s work, and our signature onsite fundraising raffle.
