November is National Involvement Month

November is National Youth Involvement month and, as in past years, the National Youth Council is helping youth across the country to come up with meaningful ways to involve and engage volunteers during a series of events under the National Youth Fundraiser umbrella. This year we launched a competition on the most innovative celebration event hosted in conjunction with the 90th Anniversary of Junior Red Cross.

Share with us your celebration plans for the 90th Anniversary of the Junior Red Cross during this fiscal year and the four best submissions will be awarded with $500. The received funds must be used for implementing the 90th Junior Red Cross Anniversary event at the respective field unit. In addition you have the opportunity to inspire volunteers from across the county; the winning stories will be showcased on RedCross.org.

To find out more about the Celebration Award and for any related questions email Karuna Dewan at dewank@usa.redcross.org or Amelia Marian at MarianA@usa.redcross.org.
