The American Red Cross of the Mid-South is thrilled to announce that the 2025 Red Boa Bash, presented by Glo Medical Aesthetics, raised almost $90,000 to support our mission of preventing and alleviating human suffering. Held on March 1, 2025, at The Guest House at Graceland, this unforgettable evening brought together more than 200 guests for a night of glamour, generosity and giving back.
Guests arrived in style, donning their finest red attire and feathered boas, ready to enjoy an evening filled with live music and spirited bidding during our silent and live auctions. The energy was electric as the community came together to support lifesaving work across the Mid-South.
Thanks to your generosity, our auctions and donations raised critical funds that will help us continue operating the Home Fire Campaign; supporting families impacted by home fires and working to help families make their homes safer by installing smoke alarms and creating fire evacuation plans.
One of the most moving moments of the evening came when Lisa Street, owner of Glo Medical Aesthetics, shared a personal story of how her life has been directly impacted by home fires while growing up with her father working as a firefighter. Her words reminded us of the real impact your support makes possible.
A heartfelt thank you to all our incredible sponsors, donors and volunteers who made this event possible. Your support ensures that the Red Cross can continue to respond to emergencies and build more resilient communities.

That’s why the American Red Cross and our partners are preparing families to act quickly through our Home Fire Campaign. We have already made a lifesaving difference, achieving our initial goals of installing 2.5 million free smoke alarms and helping to make 1 million households safer in at-risk communities. But home fires remain a daily threat, so the Home Fire Campaign continues across the country.
