PALMDALE, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- RedBrick Pizza Worldwide and its participating franchises throughout North America and Canada are sponsoring a nationwide "Go Red" Charity Cafe(TM) campaign this summer to help raise awareness and reduce the occurrence of heart disease and strokes.

Starting June 15 and running through September 15, 2008, a portion of all RedBrick sales on Tuesday nights will be donated to the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign.

"Heart problems are perceived of as a man's ailment," said Lynn Minidis, co-founder of RedBrick Pizza Worldwide. "The fact is that heart disease is the number one killer of women in the U.S. today. Yet a few simple steps can help reduce risks and improve your lifestyle."

"By simply enjoying a delicious fire-roasted gourmet pizza at RedBrick Pizza Cafe on Tuesdays this summer, our loyal patrons will be helping to reduce heart disease in two ways," noted Minidis. "First is the contribution we will make to the Heart Association, but just as important, they'll be enjoying a heart-healthy meal that, along with daily exercise and lifestyle changes, can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. All of RedBrick's pizzas are made fresh each day with heart healthy olive oil. We want to encourage everyone to help us help the 'Go Red for Women' effort this summer."

"Go Red for Women" is a program designed by the American Heart Association to heighten awareness of the number one killer of women in the U.S. and the steps people can take to reduce their risk of heart disease.

The ABC's of Preventing Heart Disease include Avoiding tobacco, Being more active and Choosing good nutrition.

RedBrick is working hard to make that last task, eating right, an easy and pleasurable one. Their gourmet recipes offer fresh, nutritious ingredients including imported Suprema mozzarella cheese, fresh vegetables and a light-crispy crust made with pure, virgin olive oil. These ingredients help make RedBrick pizzas lower in fat, cholesterol and sodium than ordinary pizza.

RedBrick Pizza is one of the fastest-growing, fast casual franchises with locations across the United States and Canada. They have earned the accolades of trade press and local restaurant reviewers for their innovative concepts and gourmet recipes.
