Now is the time to discover your SHINE – the Strengths, Hobbies, Interests & Irritants, Needs and Experiences that make each of us unique!
House of Shine is a leadership development nonprofit with a mission to strengthen communities by growing confident, self-aware and resilient leaders who are equipped with a deep understanding of themselves and why their contributions to the world matter.

The game is simple, and no two trips will ever be the same. To help guide us along our journey together, the enclosed game spinner reveals which direction to go and what object or location to be on the lookout for.

2026 Tarrant County Go Red for Women Experience
2026-02-20 10:00 - 13:00 | The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel, 200 Main Street, Fort Worth, 76102
💃 Go Red for Women Tarrant County Experience
More than a luncheon. A movement.
Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of inspiration, connection, and life-saving impact at the Tarrant County Go Red for Women® — where heart health meets high energy and purpose meets passion.
This isn’t your typical luncheon. It’s a celebration of strength, sisterhood, and survival — and a powerful part of the American Heart Association’s Nation of Lifesavers™ movement. Together, we’re turning bystanders into lifesavers by equipping more women with the knowledge and confidence to perform CPR and respond in a cardiac emergency.
💓 Why Go Red?
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women — but it doesn’t have to be. Go Red for Women is about empowering women at every life stage — from before pregnancy to beyond menopause — to take charge of their heart health and advocate for others.
🌟 What to Expect:
• Heart-Pumping Inspiration: Hear from survivors and experts who are changing the game for women’s heart health.
• CPR in Action: Learn hands-only CPR and become part of the Nation of Lifesavers — because knowing what to do can save a life.
• Interactive Wellness Zones: Explore fun, hands-on activities focused on fitness, nutrition, stress relief, and more.
• Connection & Community: Network with passionate changemakers, advocates, and heart heroes from across Tarrant County.
Whether you’re coming to learn, connect, or lead — this event will leave you energized, empowered, and ready to make a difference.
