BE A HERO!

You are cordially invited to participate in the 1st Annual “Heroes for the American Red
Cross” fundraising campaign…

WHAT IS THE HEROES CAMPAIGN?

“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 $1,000, through any legal means they choose, for the Eastern Panhandle Red Cross Chapter. One fundraising idea is to sell “Red Cross Squares” in your business/organization. The squares can be sold at point of purchase for $1 each. See following sheet for more information.

The Eastern Panhandle Chapter’s 1st Annual “Heroes for the American Red Cross” Campaign will kickoff June 1, 2008 and run throughout the entire month.

This year, the Eastern Panhandle Chapter has set its sights on raising $65,000 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 the Eastern Panhandle.

Heroes and the employer/organization they represent will be recognized in newspaper advertising (see sample ad attached) during the campaign. Additionally, Heroes will be invited to participate in a campaign launch event and a celebration at the conclusion of the campaign.

Please support this worthwhile cause!
