Fundraisers

Several times each year, Utica Chapter Red Cross supporters get together to honor outstanding members of the community, celebrate special occasions, and share time together. We welcome community members to participate by helping us to raise money and promote awareness of the many programs we offer.

Lend a Hand & Save the Day

The Save The Day program allows organizations an opportunity to lend a helping hand to their neighbors in need by sponsoring a Red Cross program of their choice for a day, a week, or even a month. Everyday in communities just like yours and mine, a disaster strikes and lives are turned upside down. The American Red Cross assists those individuals affected by helping them to get back on their feet, back at their jobs, and back to supporting themselves and their families.
Your American Red Cross has been there assisting individuals in the community for over 90 years. Imagine for one day that your American Red Cross was no longer there. Who would you turn to in times of need? Who would your neighbors turn to?
If your company is interested in learning more about the Save the Day program contact Victoria Turner today!

Fire & Ice Tribute to Humanity 2008

Fire & Ice Tribute to Humanity is a unique event in the community which gives the Red Cross an opportunity to honor two local people, one adult and one youth, whose accomplishments support our mission. This year a new award is being presented to honor a Business of the Year.

The evening also boasts entertainment and a fabulous basket auction. See below for more information on both awards.
