“Heroes
for the American Red Cross” is a grassroots campaign in which local business
people,
school
groups, church groups, civic clubs, and individuals pledge to raise $1000,
through any
legal
means they choose, for the local Red Cross chapter.
This year, the Northwest North
Carolina
Chapter has set its sights on raising $30,000
during the campaign. The funds
will
be
used to support Red Cross services, such as disaster relief, assistance for fire
victims,
emergency
military communications, first aid and CPR training and disaster preparedness
information
for our community. All money raised will support your neighbors in Davie,
Forsyth,
Stokes and Yadkin Counties.
