From the bold vision of our founder, Clara Barton, to the incredible women who continue to shape our mission today, the American Red Cross has always been powered by humanitarians leading with compassion, strength and purpose. For more than 140 years, women have been at the core of everything we do as volunteers, donors, staff and leaders.
During Red Cross Month, we are proud to spotlight the women in philanthropy across the North Texas Region who help make our mission possible through their generosity, leadership and unwavering commitment to our community.

From First Aid and CPR training, to Lifeguard and EMR certification, the American Red Cross has the emergency health and safety training and certification options available to suit everyone’s needs.
The tradition of March being declared Red Cross Month began in 1943 with a proclamation from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and for more than 75 years, all U.S. presidents have designated this month. This March, we are honored to recognize all those who have answered the call to help others under our Red Cross emblem that continues to stand for help and hope during the most challenging of times.
We salute all of our volunteers and employees who make a difference in their communities by donating blood or platelets; volunteering to help people affected by a disaster; taking a first aid or CPR class to help in an emergency; or providing comfort to a member of the military, a veteran or their family.
The Red Cross honors donor intent and all donations earmarked for Disaster Relief will be used to help people affected by disasters, big and small. Americans work hard for their money, and we’re committed to being the very best stewards of our donors’ dollar. The Red Cross keeps our expenses low and an average of 90 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in delivering care and comfort to those in need.
Help people affected by disasters big and small.
