About this listen

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Dr. Sarah Breazeale, Executive Director of the American Red Cross – Mid-South Chapter, who highlights how the organization delivers vital services, providing relief and support to those in crisis and helping individuals be prepared to respond in emergencies. Sarah explains how the chapter responds to home fires, provides blood drives, offers training certifications, and supports military families. She highlights the critical need for volunteers and financial support, noting that 90% of their workforce is volunteer-driven. She concludes by promoting the Red Boa Bash fundraising event scheduled for Saturday, March 21st at The Guest House at Graceland, which aims to raise money for home fire relief efforts in the Mid-South region. Sarah notes that the organization responds to approximately 500 residential fires each year, and walks alongside the families for months as they navigate the process of rebuilding their lives. Sarah invites the community to attend the event and join in the celebration with music, fun, and flair, and then look at an upcoming course, blood drive, or volunteer opportunity where you can help make a difference.
