We’re still short of our $100,000 goal

I just pulled your supporter record, {NAME}. [American Red Cross]( Dear {NAME}, At the American Red Cross, my team and I spend much of our time looking ahead: Where and when will we be needed next, and how can we be there to help when that moment comes? This week alone, we are responding to deadly wildfires across California, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada; and volunteers and staff have been on the ground in Louisiana, bracing for Hurricane Francine which made landfall as a Category 2 last night. Today and tomorrow, we will be there as rainfall pounds Alabama and Mississippi; and we will be there as communities recover from the Bridge, Line and Airport fires that have destroyed 80,000 acres so far. That’s why National Preparedness Month is such an important time, and why we set an ambitious goal to raise $100,000 this month to help us respond to the 4,000 disasters that occur every September on average. [But with just hours left until our deadline, it looks like we’re still counting on your generous support to reach our goal:]( National Preparedness Month Supporter ID [American Red Cross]( {EMAIL} Donation Status: PENDING Goal: $100,000 Deadline: MIDNIGHT [Will you please give now to help us stay ready to support families impacted by tornadoes, storms, home fires and more?]( [GIVE NOW]( {NAME}, it’s our mission to be there for every person impacted by disasters big and small.
