American Red Cross Entertainment Production Assistance

The American Red Cross greatly appreciates the support it receives from the entertainment industry, which over the years has served to keep our livesaving services ever-present with the American public whom we serve and on whom we rely for donations of time, money and blood to maintain our humanitarian mission.

We offer the types of support listed below, exclusively through our National Headquarters in Washington, DC. Based on our experience in coordinating with the entertainment industry, we can provide the following services upon request:

• Current and period-accurate posters, signage and background materials (often used as set dressing and props);
• Technical experts to advise writers, talent, producers and production designers, in large- and small-scale Red Cross response activity;
• As available: rolling stock, such as marked vans and trucks;
• "Instant City" items, such as tents and vehicles;
• Writer support (research & accuracy checks when requested), for any circumstances in which the Red Cross may become part of the story itself;
• Approvals for use of protected Red Cross emblems and symbols; and
• One-stop coordination and approvals of requests to shoot in and around Red Cross properties.
• Public service announcements for use in productions

We do much more, and will be pleased to offer any level of education in our services upon request. For more information or to access these services, please contact:
