March is American Red Cross Month

Each year the President of the United States signs a proclamation that declares March “Red Cross Month.” The American Red Cross runs blood drives, provides aid, emotional support for victims of disaster and relief.

The Red Cross did not rely on traditional fund-raisers for support at the start of the organization. They raised funds by word of mouth, through public reaction towards national and global disasters, and through mainly media and publicity. However, that changed with the start of WWI when the first national fund drive. Then in 1943 FDR officially declared March, “Red Cross Month”.
