American Red Cross Hero Campaign

How long since you have made a financial contribution to your local American Red Cross Chapter?

Donations to support large-scale National and International Disaster Relief are always needed, but so are funds necessary to support local preparedness and safety training and for emergancy relief efforts here at home.

Did you know your local chapter responded to 10 single family fires in the months of January and February alone? These expenses brought the sub-total of local disaster assistance to over $30,000 with four months remaining in the fiscal year. This figure closely resembles recors from prior years.

It isn't cheap to help our neighbors but we can do it and do it well when we join with other individuals and business in our local communities that have already become regular Red Cross donors. Please call (906) 225-3659 to make your contribution today no matter how big or small as every penny helps some one in need. You can also request a pledge card for the 2008-2009 fiscal year.
