PROCLAMATION
American Red Cross Month
March 2025
WHEREAS, we celebrate American Red Cross Month by recognizing the compassionate acts of people in the City of Napa and by renewing our commitment to lend a helping hand to our neighbors in need. Since Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross almost 150 years ago, generation after generation has stepped up to deliver relief and care across our country and around the world; and WHEREAS, the volunteers, blood and platelet donors, and financial supporters who now give back through the Napa/Sonoma Disaster Response Area of the American Red Cross remain unwavering in their commitment to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of today’s emergencies; and
WHEREAS, these voluntary and generous contributions shine a beacon of hope in people’s darkest hours — whether it’s delivering shelter, food and comfort during disasters; providing critical blood donations for hospital patients; supporting service members, veterans and their families; saving lives with first aid, CPR, AED and other skills; or delivering international aid and reconnecting loved ones separated by global crises; and
WHEREAS, this work to uplift our Napa community is truly made possible by those who selflessly answer the call to help, whenever and wherever it’s needed. We hereby recognize this month of March in honor of their remarkable service, and we ask everyone to join in their commitment to care for one another.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Scott Sedgley, Mayor of the City of Napa along with the City Council, do hereby proclaim March 2025 as Red Cross Month, and encourage all citizens of the City of Napa to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.
