The Clara Barton Society

In an earlier article, I provided a brief biography of this amazing woman who, through her compassion and determination, planted the seeds of the American Red Cross you see now, and as a spirit that has left an eternal mark on our nation. In this article I want to touch on The Clara Barton Society, which was organized to honor Americans who share the qualities that Clara Barton held, and left an impression in the organization she launched.

The Clara Barton Society honors your total, annual giving in support of your local Chapter of The American Red Cross. All types of gifts, cash contributions, securities, property, and the value of goods and services, go towards your membership in the Society. The Clara Barton Society recognizes giving at 4 distinct levels. First, as a Friend ($1,000-$4,999), second, as a Sponsor ($5,000-$9,999), third, as a Pacesetter ($10,000-$24,999), and fourth, as a Benefactor ($25,000-$49,999).

As a member of The Clara Barton Society, you are an active partner in carrying out the work of The American Red Cross. You will also discover exactly how your donation both of time and energy is being utilized to help people in need of services provided by The American Red Cross.

If you are interested in becoming a member of The Clara Barton Society contact your local Chapter of The American Red Cross. They will be happy to provide you with more information, and other ways in which you can contribute to The American Red Cross.

The Clara Barton Society and The Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders highlight what can be accomplished when like-minded individuals make a concerted, genuine effort to contribute to their local community. Obviously, donations can take many forms, all of which are greatly treasured. In addition to more ordinarily donated items, used cars and vehicles can be particularly valuable as donations.

You do not need to be part of a society to help aid the work of your local Chapter of The American Red Cross. Contributing any amount of time, goods, or money means that you are a part of the difference your local Chapter makes to people in your community.
