 Greg Biffle

"I'm honored to help support an organization that touches millions of lives every year in communities nationwide," said Biffle, driver of the No. 16 Roush Ford. "Besides collecting blood and helping people recover from disasters, they give incredible support to our military personnel and their families.

 Jackie Chan

"When I was a young schoolboy at the Beijing Opera Academy in Hong Kong, I was very poor and yearned for some of the most basic things in life. My fellow students were in similar need and it was at this time that a representative from the Red Cross arrived, bringing us supplies. My classmates and I were so grateful and touched and I vowed to always remember this generosity. When I asked what I could do to repay the Red Cross, the representative told me that the best way would be to pass on the kindness in the future if I were ever able to. I never forgot his words and as soon as I could, I established the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation and have been working for charitable causes for nearly 20 years.

I will forever be indebted to the Red Cross for the comfort they provided to me when I was a child and I am honored to be a Red Cross Cabinet member."

 Sara Evans

"I am truly honored to join the 2005 Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet. The Red Cross is an amazing organization. I don't think that the public - nor I until recently - realized the extent to which the Red Cross responds to disasters throughout the world. In light of the current crisis...now more than ever their works should be applauded. I encourage people to continue their donations to The Red Cross in support of the Tsunami relief efforts."

 Jennie Garth

“I am extremely honored to participate in the Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet, especially at a time when we have the ability to do so much for people around the world who have endured such tragedies.

 Marcia Gay Harden

“After Sept. 11 in New York, after the Tsunami, after Hurricane Katrina and Rita and Wilma, The Red Cross was there to assist the victimized people with remarkable speed, grace, and humility. I had flown down on my own to the Astrodome, and once there worked with the Red Cross and the YMCA to set up a reading center. I basically read to the kids and tried to allievate some of the grief surrounding me. It was during this time that I was invited to be on the Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet, and I decided to commit because as I watched their wonderful organization assist so many people, I wanted to be available to be USED. Its like the words in that old 70’s song: “If it feels this good being used…then just keep on using me…until you use me up.”

"I am thrilled to volunteer for the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet. As a previous member of the board that oversees Americorps, I've seen first hand the amazing difference that volunteers can make. I'm eager to continue to do everything I can to help the American Red Cross and encourage the American public to support the Red Cross by giving time, blood and money so that they can carry out their lifesaving mission."

 Dr. Phil McGraw

"I saw firsthand the efforts of the Red Cross immediately after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. This was surely the worst U.S. disaster they’d ever had to respond to. I saw the Red Cross in Houston and Dallas, working around the clock for days and weeks. Imagine what these survivors went through – one day they were going about their lives and normal routines, and the next day all they had were the clothes on their back and a borrowed cot to sleep on. That’s a very lonely feeling and these Red Cross volunteers were literally their anchors in the storm, offering the emotional support that was needed. They were there not just to provide food and shelter, but a sense of family and comfort when these displaced people needed it the most, when they had no idea where their actual family members were. I am proud to be associated with such a caring organization. “No” is not in their vocabulary. Instead, their first response is always: 'Where do you need me?'"

 Nancy O'Dell

"When I was asked in 2001 to join the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet, I was deeply honored. Especially in light of the tragedies of September 11, I was moved to get involved with a national organization that for so long has done so much good. I began my career as a broadcast television anchor/reporter in Charleston, S.C. It was there that I saw firsthand the commitment of the Red Cross to family and community during the recovery from Hurricane Hugo. Later, as an anchor for NBC in Miami, I played witness to the revitalization of Florida following Hurricane Andrew. In covering both disasters, I was amazed at the efforts of the Red Cross and all of its volunteers. The organization works tirelessly to help those affected by tragedy…not only in the first few days following an event, but also for years after. It is with pride that I continue my volunteer service on their National Celebrity Cabinet. To be able to contribute to the many efforts of the American Red Cross and to encourage others to volunteer is my duty."

 Sara Ramirez

"There are extraordinary people who come together for a greater good and continue to devote their lives on a consistent basis to helping those is need or crisis. The people of the American Red Cross are silent angels who work night and day selflessly for a greater good. I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to work with this organization. I hope to help bring awareness to the many ways we can all give back, and make a difference in our local and global communities. We are all one after all."

 Rascal Flatts

"The terrorist invasion of September 11th brought a renewed awaking to American citizens the importance of banding together as a nation. It gives us great pleasure to be able to work with a wonderful organization like the American Red Cross because of what it provides to this country-and around the world."

 Jane Seymour

"It's a great honor to be asked to take part in this worthwhile endeavor for the American Red Cross for another year. I can tell you from personal experience that the time I spend volunteering and working with other volunteers has enriched my life. I look forward to continuing to support the Red Cross during the next year and as a mother, I hope to make a difference, especially with children's issues."

 Brittany Snow

"I have always admired the work that The Red Cross provides around the world in times of crisis or on a day-to-day basis. I knew I wanted to get involved when I shot a movie in New Orleans for three months in the 9th Ward and saw the effects of Hurricane Katrina up close. I know the Red Cross has helped and is continuing to aid countless numbers of people during this time of need. I was honored that they asked me to participate in order to help the people of New Orleans that I grew to love. It's important to start activism at an early age and I will help The Red Cross achieve this important goal."

 Raven-Symoné
