Heroes on the Town

The Heroes Campaign continued this past weekend with two major events that attracted the strong, brave and single alike. Our call center’s Yellow Ribbon Warriors hosted “Win a Date with a Service Man” at the Red Star Tavern Friday night. Dates with fifteen of the military’s finest were auctioned off to the highest bidder. Participants also accepted push-up challenges from ‘civilians.’ Those who brought their A-game left with Red Star gift cards.

Saturday 10 brave cyclists took on our chapter’s first “Ride for the Red” at Cherokee Park. Riders began at 6 p.m. Saturday and concluded at 11 a.m. on Sunday. Our chapter’s own Logan McCulloch completed 50 laps at “Ride for the Red”—that totaled 119 miles!

Together the two events raised over $1,400 for the Heroes Campaign!

Monday, June 7th is a day for Heroes!

The Red Cross is looking for Heroes this Monday, June 7th! We'll be doing several fundraisers throughout the day to support our Heroes fundraising campaign.

From 10AM-3PM at our downtown office at 510 E. Chestnut Street we'll be hosting a bake sale, with products donated by local bakeries and tasty homemade treats!

From 5PM-7PM we'll be at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse at Oxmoor Mall (7900 Shelbyville Road). You must present the above flyer to your server to have a portion of the proceeds from your meal go back to the Red Cross.

It's a whole day of good food and fun- see you there!
