Heroes

For generations, the American Red Cross has provided Heroes to our community. In order for the Red Cross to continue to meet our community's needs, we need people willing to be a "Hero" for the Red Cross. Heroes are people who commit to raising money for the local Red Cross chapter.

Every dollar helps! Click here to find out how your donation can help those in your community.

Local individuals and organizations in Kenosha, Racine and Waukesha County, as well as the city of Wauwatosa, have become Heroes for the American Red Cross. Their generosity and willingness to help ensures that the Red Cross can take care of residents in southeastern Wisconsin, by providing shelter, food and other emergency services to those in need. 

These heroes are challenged to raise money for the American Red Cross within a 3-week period in May. They raise the money through their company, organization or give individual donations, through any legal means they choose, with the support of their employees and vendors.
