[Become a champion]( [Gail] Each March, we honor the people who deliver comfort and relief when families are facing their darkest moments. For nearly 80 years, every U.S. president has proclaimed March as “Red Cross Month.” Just as our country faced hardship during the first Red Cross Month in 1943, engaging people in our mission remains as critical as ever today. This time last year, we were faced with the terrible reality of the COVID-19 pandemic. The months that followed have been extraordinarily challenging for our communities, our nation, and our world. Yet through it all, I have been deeply inspired and awed by the commitment of people like you, who continue to empower our lifesaving mission. This spring, we renew our resolve to always be there for our neighbors in need and further strengthen the resilience of our communities. I am truly humbled by the generosity and dedication of our Red Cross supporters, who make our vital work possible.
