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!
