RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Proclamation declaring March as American Red Cross Month.
BACKGROUND:
Red Cross Month is an annual celebration in March which recognizes and celebrates the work of Red Cross volunteers, financial donors, blood donors and community partners.
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt requested that “during this Month of March our people rededicate themselves to the splendid aims and activities of the Red Cross.” Since then, March has been proclaimed American Red Cross month across the country.
The San Gabriel Pomona Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross serves 1.8 million people in 44 communities covering 320 square miles and is dedicated to providing resources and assistance to the community through: disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, health and safety training, blood drives, international services, and service to the armed forces and veterans.
The City of Diamond Bar is proud to honor the achievements and accomplishments of San Gabriel and Pomona Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross.
