Speaking on Business: American Red Cross

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For over 140 years, the American Red Cross has been delivering vital services — from providing relief and support to those in crisis, to helping individuals prepare for emergencies. Regional CEO of Utah and Nevada, Heidi Ruster, joins us with more. Heidi Ruster: Turn your compassion into action when you volunteer with the American Red Cross. Every day, communities across the country rely on the Red Cross during moments of crisis. From helping those displaced by disasters like fires and floods to supporting lifesaving blood collections, volunteers are at the heart of what we do. With 90 percent of the workforce made up of dedicated volunteers, your efforts can make a lasting impact. Find the role that’s right for you and help turn tragedy into hope. We can’t do it without you or your organization. Visit RedCross.org/volunteer to get started. You can also support our mission by donating blood. The need is constant, and sometimes critical. Hospital patients — from accident victims to cancer patients and premature babies — count on generous donors like you. One blood donation can save multiple lives. Schedule your appointment today at redcrossblood.org. Together, we can create hope and save lives. Derek Miller: The American Red Cross is creating lasting change by bringing hope and support to communities in need. Their commitment strengthens lives every day — and you can help carry it forward.
