CONSIDER YOUR LOCAL RED CROSS IN YEAR END GIVING PLANS
“Money raised here – Stays Here”

Newton, NJ, December 27, 2010 - In this season of hope there is one gift that can really save the day. It will save the day for the survivors of the next disaster that strikes… for the neighbor whose home has burned to the ground…or the child who needs a hug and a Teddy bear. The gift that saves the day is the gift you give today to the American Red Cross. Money raised now allows the American Red Cross to be there tomorrow. Executive Director Pat Day said, “It’s a certainty that the Red Cross will be called on for assistance many times in the year ahead. We must never say “no.” Our dedicated staff and volunteers are prepared to meet the challenge. They understand how lives can be turned upside down in an instant by a home fire, a natural disaster, or other tragedy. But they need the resources of food, supplies, and emergency housing that your contributions pay for”. Day added, “Whenever or wherever someone in Sussex County needs the Red Cross in 2011, we’ll be there”.

As you consider your year-end giving, please include the Red Cross. Whatever you can donate will be greatly appreciated. Help your local Red Cross raise the funds needed to ensure they will always be there for you when you need them most. Rest assured, your gift today will save the day for those we serve tomorrow — giving hope when it’s needed most.  Remember, donations to the American Red Cross are always tax deductible, and if you send your gift by December 31, it’s deductible for this year.  To make a donation call 973-579-1600 or visit our website at www.sussexredcross.org.

The American Red Cross is a non-profit organization that shelters, feeds and counsels victims of disasters; provides nearly half of the nation's blood supply; teaches lifesaving skills; and supports military members and their families. The American Red Cross is a non-profit organization, not a government agency, and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its humanitarian mission.
