Additionally, our Washtenaw County Chapter of the American Red Cross:
Forged a stronger relationship with the committed staff and volunteers of the Lenawee County ARC, forming a Regional Advisory Council to build our collective capacity. We involved the entire chapter-- board, volunteers and staff-- in helping us to raise awareness of your good work through Mission tours.
Our Celebration of Community Heroes and Swim-Across events broke all previous records in raising program- sustaining revenues for the chapter.
As one Red Cross family, we claimed these values which we hope to most exemplify in our daily activities together. Teamwork, Trust, Commitment, Diversity, Respect and Integrity
Our programs rely on financial support and voluntary service from generous citizens of the Washtenaw County.
