Una Awards

The Tiffany Circle honors a special member at each of the Summits, held in Washington, DC. The purpose is to lift up and honor “an unsung hero”, a Tiffany Circle woman who gives selflessly on behalf of the American Red Cross.
The Tiffany Circle Una Award is given to a woman who exemplifies the mission of the Red Cross and is engaged in the work of the Red Cross in a major way. Named in honor of one of the allegorical figures in the Tiffany windows in Board of Governors Hall and the American Red Cross National Headquarters, Una represents Truth in traveling with the Red cross Knight in Spenser’s “The Faerie Queen” written in 1590.
