Clara Barton Leadership Giving Society

For more than 125 years, the American Red Cross, founded by Clara Barton, has been a symbol of American compassion, caring and volunteerism. Now, through your membership in the Clara Barton Society, you can become a part of Clara Barton's legacy and lend a helping hand to prepare for and prevent disaster in the community or to those needing assistance following a disaster.

Clara Barton Society members help ensure that the Red Cross has the capacity to respond immediately, whenever someone is in need. Whether it's a fire, a devastating tornado, a sweeping flood, a sudden heart attack, or a family member needing to talk to their solider, your support makes it possible for our volunteers to answer the call.

Your continued support guarantees the necessary resources are provided to recruit and train volunteers, prepare for crises, and respond when tragedy strikes.

Please help us ensure that Clara Barton's compassion will continue to be felt in the communities of the capital area. Join the Clara Barton Society today. It is one of the best investments you will ever make.

Membership into the Clara Barton Giving Society is based on annual giving of $1,000 or more.

For more information, please contact Laura St. Blanc at (800) 256-4733 or LStBlanc@batonrouge.redcross.org.
