Mission: Raising Up Heroes

The American Red Cross National Youth Council is launching a campaign, Mission: Raising Up Heroes for Red Cross Month in March! This campaign aims to raise funds for Service to the Armed Forces (SAF). In line with founder Clara Barton’s care of soldiers on the battlefield, the American Red Cross is committed to serving those who serve our nation. Every day, the American Red Cross provides 24/7 global emergency communication services and other support in military and veteran health care facilities around the world.   

Why This Matters 

   • SAF delivers services in veteran and military hospitals across the country, helping service members recover and transition after their service.  

   • Since 9/11, SAF has supported over 1 million military families, ensuring they receive the care and assistance they need. 

How Can You Get Involved? 

Glad you asked! All month long, we're rallying to raise funds through DonorDrive. Here's how you help those who have given so much: 

   • Donate: Every penny counts! Your contribution ensures SAF programs continue to thrive. 

   • Spread the Word: Share our mission with friends, family, and even that neighbor you nod to every morning. The more, the merrier! 

   • Start your own Fundraiser: Create your own fundraiser here. We encourage you to also fill out this form 📋 so the National Youth Council can be made aware of your campaign, include you in our communications, and provide additional guidance to ensure your campaign’s success.
