[Fredslist] March is Red Cross Month

[Dr Elizabeth Greenberg]

March is a reminder of the Red Cross mission to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to emergencies. While the Red Cross is most visible during times of
disaster, the work continues year-round.

Every year, the Red Cross:

   - Responds to nearly 70,000 disasters
   - Teaches more than 4 million people how to prepare for disaster
   - Engages more than half a million people as Red Cross volunteers
   - Trains more than 9 million people in first aid, water safety and other
   skills to help save lives such as CPR and use of AEDs
   - Collects 6.3 million units of blood from roughly 3.7 million volunteer
   donors
   - Provides services to more than 400,000 military members, veterans and
   civilians
   - Helps nearly 150 million people through disaster management and
   disease prevention activities
   - Reconnects more than 1,000 families separated by war and disaster
   around the world

Since 1881, the Red Cross has provided lifesaving services across the
country and around the world thanks to the generosity of the American
public that has always reached into their own pocket to help their neighbor
in need.

After President Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared the month of March "Red
Cross Month” in 1943, the Red Cross raised the largest amount ever aimed
for in one campaign by any American organization. Roosevelt called it the
"greatest single crusade of mercy in all of history."

Today, the American Red Cross continues to be that symbol of mercy,
providing help and hope down the street, across the country and around the
world.
