Dear Friends,
The next time you’re in a room filled with people, look around. Whether they’re friends, coworkers or strangers, many of these people have Red Cross stories to tell.
Maybe they gave blood or took a CPR class last year. Or perhaps the Red Cross taught them to swim when they were kids. You might be surprised how many people have had fires in their homes and remember that the Red Cross was there for them with blankets, coffee and compassion. If you look closely, you can see the Red Cross everywhere. Your support of the Greater Chicago Chapter is reaching more and more people each year.
Our mission is to help people prepare for, prevent and respond to emergencies. Our chapter serves more than 8.6 million people in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will counties. As the leader of our regional Red Cross grouping, we strengthen service to a total of 12 counties in Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Your support makes these communities safer, stronger and better prepared for emergencies.
During many moments of our lives, we’re in the company of strangers: at the grocery store, in line at the movie theater, or even watching our children play at the park. As Red Cross volunteers and donors, however, we work to create a network of safety in our communities. In times of crisis, people whom you might think of as strangers can emerge as everyday Red Cross heroes. They’re the people who know CPR, give blood and carry preparedness kits in their cars. They are volunteers, course instructors and prepared citizens.
Your support helps us to grow this network of safety. Thank you for your generous gift to the Red Cross. Share your Red Cross story with the people in your life, and encourage them to write their own by becoming a part of our Red Cross community.
Sincerely,
Francesca M. Maher Kary McIllwainChief Executive Officer Board Chair

Bringing Relief Where People Need it the Most
“Before we could even understand that our building was burning, the Red Cross was there.” —Yolanda González, whose apartment was destroyed in a fire in February.
By giving to the disaster relief fund, you were in Iowa helping this family recover.
Last year, you helped bring disaster relief to 6,900 people in the Greater Chicago area.
Palo
At first, the mother was skeptical. “Is this a loan?” she asked.
“No,” our volunteer explained. “It’s a gift.”
As this sank in, tension faded from her face, and she started to
smile. She began thanking us and making jokes. Then, for the
first time all morning, her daughter smiled.
When you support the Red Cross, you’re giving people hope
in places where no one else is offering it. You’re in the unique
position to be there for people in the first, crucial moments after position to be there for people in the first, crucial moments after Lyonposition to be there for people in the first, crucial moments after Lyonposition to be there for people in the first, crucial moments after position to be there for people in the first, crucial moments after
a disaster, and you’re empowering them to look forward. That
morning, a mother and child were so grateful, and they wanted
to thank the Red Cross. They wanted to thank you.

Preparing People to be Everyday Heroes
“It makes me feel a lot better knowing that if an emergency ever comes, I’ll be able to handle it.” —Lucy McDonald, an 11-year-old who took a Red Cross babysitting class.
Red Cross babysitting courses help youth in your neighborhood learn CPR, First Aid and responsibility.

Preparing People to be Everyday Heroes
Roads were crusted with salt and lined with snow on a bright day in March when
hundreds of people braved the weather to spend their Saturday at our chapter’s
annual CPR Training Days. They registered, paid the discounted $5 class fee
and learned how to save a life.
On the bottom row of the bleachers, a mother and her grown daughter, still in their
coats, were thawing out as they leafed intently through the Red Cross course materials.
They were taking the class so they would know exactly what to do in an emergency.
“I take care of my grandkids, and I wanted to know what to do if they got sick.”
Young couples, college roommates and entire families filtered down onto the gym floor.
They gathered around the CPR manikins, which were lined up neatly in rows. People
chatted and were cheerful, practicing rescue breathing and chest compressions. In the
back of everyone’s mind was the fact that these manikins were there to represent real
people. They were practicing for the people who might one day need their help.
By supporting the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago, you help
people take the impulse to do good and channel it into preparation people take the impulse to do good and channel it into preparation people take the impulse to do good and channel it into preparation people take the impulse to do good and channel it into preparation

Beginning in Your Backyard, Reaching Around the World
“I’m inspired by the integrity of the Red Cross and the scope of the Measles Campaign. We’re doing something so basic, and it could save thousands of lives. ” —Susie Mazaheri, a volunteer who has organized a fundraiser to help eradicate Measles in India.
Through Red Cross messages your neighbors can reconnect with their war-torn families.

Beginning in Your Backyard, Reaching Around the World
In a hot basement apartment on the North side of Chicago, a father and his two sons
gathered with a Red Cross international tracing worker to tell their story. She listened
intently. She had worked hard to find this family and to hand-deliver a Red Cross
message to their door.
Refugees from Tanzania, the man and his family had only been in the United States a
short while. His two young boys were quiet until spoken to, and then their faces lit up
as they chatted about school. “Here, we are free,” the father said. “I am so glad we are
here.” In his hand, the man held the Red Cross message from his cousin—evidence
that the family he left behind is safe and well.
The Red Cross has the unique opportunity to connect families who may otherwise
have no ability to find each other. There was no postal service in his cousin’s refugee
camp. Instead, the message was guided through many hands, over the ocean and onto
the desk of this tracing worker in Chicago. She had the dedication and persistence to
search for this family and, eventually, to find them.
Tracing is just one of the chapter’s international programs that gives
local activists and donors a way to change lives on the other side of
the globe. Our chapter encourages people to consider the power of
$1—the cost of a measles vaccine that will save a child’s life. When
military families are apart during times of service, the Red Cross has
the unique ability to reach members of the military—no matter where
they are—to bring news from home. Knowing that we’re there to share
messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives messages about births, illness, death and other important news gives

Blood Donation is a Simple, Priceless Act
“I give blood because I can and because I hope other people would do the same for me.” —Darlene Chrusciel-Kokotan, a recent blood donor. Darlene gave at work, and was inspired by her father, who was a regular donor.
By donating at a local drive you’re giving enough blood to save three lives.

Coworkers chatted, laughed and ate cookies while others filled out forms and waited
their turn. At our chapter’s Rauner Center this August, dozens of people gave up an
hour of their day to give a pint of blood. They were there for different reasons—some
were longtime donors, others were spontaneously inspired by a flyer that had asked
them to give.
Each person in the room that day was motivated by the fact that giving blood is giving
life. They were there to help others—people they would never meet, but who needed
their help. Blood donors give because they believe that this simple, small act is the
right thing to do.
The act of giving blood can change a family’s life forever. After a mother gave birth
this summer, the Red Cross was there to help her and her new baby. The infant
needed a transfusion of blood platelets, and the mother was the only suitable donor.
Many Red Cross staff members worked quickly to draw and process the mother’s
donation, some even coming in on their day off to make sure
everything went smoothly.
By donating regularly, people around you are making sure that this
lifesaving resource is shared. Because of their generosity, and because
of yours, the American Red Cross provides nearly half of the nation’s
blood supply. Our volunteers organize Red Cross blood drives in their
schools, community centers and at work because they know that they’re
creating an important link between our generous blood donors and
people who need their help the most.
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion.

Choosing the Red Cross, Choosing to Give
“Through a combination of CPR training and philanthropy, I’m doing my part to support the Red Cross, and to prepare myself for the unexpected.” —Allen Schild, who donated part of his real estate commission to our chapter last year.
Pennies and nickels add up as young donors decide to support your Red Cross chapter.
You’ve met people who give to the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago, but you
might not realize who they are. They are the mother of five who gives loyally to our
annual fund, and a 10-year-old girl who organized a fundraiser with her Red Cross
Club. They are international travelers passing through O’Hare airport who choose
to donate leftover currency into cans marked for the Red Cross. They are the people
who live on a fixed income into their retirement, but who leave a legacy by naming
our chapter in their wills and trusts. No matter when they give, or how they give,
people share a belief in our mission, and every day they are choosing to give.
Some of them give out of love for another. A young woman ran the Chicago Marathon
this year in honor of her father, who’s struggling to cope with illness. She chose to join
our chapter’s Run Red Team, a group that fundraises for our chapter while training
for the marathon. Years ago, this runner’s father was serving in the armed forces in
Vietnam, and the Red Cross helped to bring him home to attend a loved one’s funeral.
He always remembered that experience, and he went on to become a firefighter and
lifelong fan of the Red Cross. “The Red Cross was there for my father,
and now I want to make him proud.”
Others give so that our community can be better prepared. A real
estate agent in the city of Chicago saw a man collapse on a crowded
train and watched helplessly when no one knew how to perform
CPR. He immediately decided to take a CPR class, but that didn’t CPR. He immediately decided to take a CPR class, but that didn’t CPR. He immediately decided to take a CPR class, but that didn’t CPR. He immediately decided to take a CPR class, but that didn’t

neighbors and our entire community. Your generosity is echoed, neighbors and our entire community. Your generosity is echoed, neighbors and our entire community. Your generosity is echoed, neighbors and our entire community. Your generosity is echoed,
in many forms and in creative ways, by other donors who share in many forms and in creative ways, by other donors who share in many forms and in creative ways, by other donors who share in many forms and in creative ways, by other donors who share

Governor’s Circle ($500,000 - $999,999) The American Red Cross’ top leadership is the national Board of Governors, composed of business and civic leaders from across the nation who volunteer their time in service to the Red Cross.
President’s Circle ($250,000 - $499,999) Clara Barton was the first President of the American Red Cross. Another notable past president is General George C. Marshall, after whom the Marshall Plan is named.
Charles Drew Circle ($150,000 - $249,999) Dr. Charles Drew did groundbreaking research in blood storage and supervised the establishment of the American Red Cross Blood Banking Program in 1941.
Circle of Humanitarians ($50,000 - $149,999) Humanitarianism is one of the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross Movement and a value exemplified by our volunteers and donors on a daily basis.
Taft Circle ($25,000 - $49,999) United States President William Howard Taft was not only a U.S. President and Chief Justice, but also served as President of the Board of the Red Cross from 1906 to 1913 and as Chairman from 1915 to 1919.
Commodore Longfellow Circle ($10,000 - $24,999) Commodore Wilbert E. Longfellow served the Red Cross from 1914 through 1947 and was responsible for the founding of the Red Cross Life Saving Corps, a predecessor of today’s water safety program.
Jane Delano Circle ($5,000 - $9,999) Jane Delano founded the American Red Cross Nursing Service in 1909 and is honored with a statue in the Nurses’ Corner of Arlington National Cemetery.
