Every day and every year is special at the American Red Cross of Monroe County.  In the spring of 2010, your local chapter will celebrate 95 years of service to Monroe County residents. 

 

Our 2010 campaign will signify the start of a five year program leading up to the 100 year anniversary of our chapter.  Disasters come in many forms and are not recession proof, but through it all the needs of families during times of a disaster are the primary focus of the American Red Cross.  Throughout the years, there have been countless situations where the Red Cross has been called to duty.

 

We are asking your family to answer the call to join the Legacy Family donor program to help sustain the Red Cross support at one of the levels listed below. You will note that we have included value-added benefits at the Legacy donation levels to both keep you informed amd to help you share the Red Cross message with your family. Your donation at any level will be 100% for the benefit of the Red Cross programs within Monroe County.  In keeping with the spirit of our anniversary theme, you may wish to consider a $9.50 monthly donation, 95¢ per day or a $95 annual or quarterly donation.  Help us to save lives in Monroe County and become a Legacy family!
