Red Cross announces' Powering the Mission'

The American Red Cross Minnesota and Dakotas Region is excited to announce a brand-new virtual event – Powering the Mission.
This event will feature dynamic guest speakers and three inspiring mission stories highlighting how the Red Cross makes an impact across the three-state region. The public is invited to attend this free event Tuesday, March 16 from noon to 1 p.m. Registration is requested at redcross.org/mission.
“Throughout this pandemic we’ve seen again and again how important a strong Red Cross is to our communities,” said Phil Hansen, Regional Executive Director of the American Red Cross Minnesota and Dakotas Region. “From responding to home fires and other disasters across the country to collecting blood products, and convalescent plasma for COVID-19 patients, the Red Cross has proved essential to strong families and communities.”
Featured presenters include Angela Davis, news host, Minnesota Public Radio; Andrea Walsh, president & CEO, HealthPartners; and Reba Dominski, EVP, chief social responsibility officer and president, U.S. Bank Foundation.
Funds raised from Powering the Mission will help the Red Cross continue to deliver critical services to more than 7 million people across the Minnesota and Dakotas Region. These services are made possible by more than 2,800 volunteers, including over 130 youth volunteers that help ensure the Red Cross fulfills its mission every day.
The March 16 Powering the Mission event is being held during Red Cross Month. For nearly 80 years, U.S. presidents have proclaimed March as Red Cross Month to recognize people giving back through its lifesaving mission — which is powered by more than 90 percent.
