Bill > SR37

This resolution formally recognizes March 2025 as American Red Cross Month and supports the humanitarian mission of the American Red Cross. The resolution provides historical context, noting that this annual tradition began in 1943 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt first issued a presidential proclamation during World War II, and every U.S. president since has continued the tradition. The document highlights the organization's 140-year history of humanitarian service, founded by Clara Barton, and emphasizes the critical work of volunteers, blood and platelet donors, and supporters who provide essential services such as disaster relief, shelter, food, medical support, blood donations, assistance to service members and veterans, and international aid. The resolution celebrates the compassionate acts of Red Cross volunteers and their commitment to preventing and alleviating human suffering, ultimately calling on citizens to join in supporting this noble mission of caring for one another during times of crisis.
