LANSING, MI — The Red Cross Michigan Region is honoring the people who make its mission possible every day during its annual Red Cross Month celebration — a national tradition started nearly 80 years ago when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first national Red Cross Month proclamation recognizing those who give back through the American Red Cross. Each U.S. president has issued a proclamation ever since.
“When emergencies strike, our community rallies together to help families and individuals when it matters most,” said Mary Lynn Foster, Chief Executive Officer for the Red Cross Michigan Region. “We invite everyone to turn their compassion into action by learning new lifesaving skills such as CPR or by helping out your local chapter.”
