March is Red Cross Month, which has its origins over a half century ago.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first Red Cross Month proclamation in 1943, recognizing the American Red Cross as a true reflection of the humanitarian and volunteer spirit and calling on Americans to “rededicate themselves to the splendid aims and activities of the Red Cross.”
Every President since has issued a proclamation about March being Red Cross month, including President Obama: "Our Nation's leadership relies upon our citizens who are motivated to act by our common humanity. This month, let us come together to celebrate the American spirit of generosity, and the dedicated individuals and organizations who keep that spirit alive."
We are very thankful for your generosity -- down the street, across the country, around the world.
