New Options for Investment

Nearly a month ago, on May 15, The American Red Cross East Georgia Chapter kicked off its Annual Sponsorship Campaign for the new fiscal year. The campaign is the first of its kind offering community leaders the opportunity to make a yearly investment in the Red Cross. Athens, Georgia has the highest number of non-profits per capita in the country which certainly influenced the campaign's design. Athens residents may bypass frequent mailings, emails, and other notices from the Red Cross by making an investment with the East Georgia Chapter once a year.

Its goal is to raise funds to help prepare the fourteen counties in the chapter's jurisdiction in the event a natural disaster strikes. Employees and volunteers understand the great impact floods, fires, and storms have on lives and an investment with the Red Cross gives them access to the supplies, food, and services needed in order to respond when a disaster strikes.

This year our teams of volunteers and staff helped 200 families whose lives were affected by a disaster. The Red Cross also provides critical training in CPR, first aid, and other safety and health practices to equip our communities with the knowledge needed to be better prepared in case of an emergency.

Participants in the Annual Sponsorship Campaign have four investment options: platinum corporate sponsor, gold corporate sponsor, silver corporate sponsor, or bronze corporate sponsor. More information regarding these options and the Annual Sponsorship Campaign are located at the link below.
