March is Red Cross Month

March is Red Cross Month and the American Red Cross is asking South Florida to join us in providing help and hope to people in need.

The Red Cross works tirelessly to help those who need assistance, whether down the street, across the country, or around the world. For 130 years Red Cross has been at the forefront to respond to disasters, help members of the military and teach lifesaving skills.

Currently the Red Cross responds to an average of nearly 200 disasters every day. Last year your local American Red Cross responded and provided assistance in 530 local disasters, processed 1,840 emergency military calls and conducted over 15,000 first aid and water safety classes.

The Red Cross is not a government agency and relies on donations of time and money to do its work. Sign up today for a CPR/first aid or other Red Cross course; give a financial gift that can save the day when the next disaster strikes, or get involved as a volunteer. For more information, visit www.southfloridaredcross.org.

For those who already support the American Red Cross and the work that we do, thank you. For those of you waiting to make a difference in someone’s life, wait no more. Join the American Red Cross today.

Sincerely,
Sam Tidwell
Chief Executive Officer 
American Red Cross South Florida Region
