Dear Red Cross Supporter,
Our Red Tie
Affair gala on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at the Fairmont Miramar
Hotel in Santa Monica will honor the umanitarian spirit of extraordinary
individuals who have shown courage and unselfish character.
This year we will be honoring Actress and Executive Producer Jada
Pinkett Smith as the 2010 recipient of the National American Red Cross "Crystal
Cross" award for her outstanding contributions to humanitarian efforts and her
support of the Amercian Red Cross. Throughout her career, she has been an
inspiration to many people.
We will also be presenting a very special "Red Cross Spirit Award" to
the cast and crew of the hit TV
series “HawthoRNe.”. This show educates and motivates thousands
of viewers with their portrayal of the daring struggle to preserve life. We've
chosen "HawthoRNe" because it reflects our mission to help people and save
lives, and recognizes the heroric nursing profession which is at the roots of
the Amercian Red Cross.
The evening will include a gourmet dinner designed
by celebrity chef Nick Stellino , a
private VIP reception, a Casino, live music, and an auction featuring exciting
and unique items.
To assist in our fundraising efforts, we are requesting a donation for
our silent or live auction. In return for your generous donation your
business will be featured on our website, listed in our catalog, and
acknowledged publicly during the auction. Also, please send your brochures
and business cards to be made available that evening. Please return the enclosed
form with your donation. All donations must be received by
March 15, 2009.
Guests are asked to wear an element of red in their
attire. Wearing red signifies your support for the American Red Cross and for
the thousands of individuals helped by the local Red Cross every
day.
Your support of the Red Tie
Affair ensures that we have the financial
resources to continue and improve all services provided by the American Red
Cross of Santa Monica. Since the American Red Cross is privately funded and
receives no government funding, our ability to provide services to those in need
is directly dependent on community financial support.
Thank you for your generous support of the
American Red Cross of Santa Monica.
Compassionate individuals like you play a vital role in ensuring that we
are able to prevent, prepare, and respond to disasters both locally and
nationally.
The American Red Cross of Santa Monica has been very busy helping with
disasters both national and local. Since The American Red Cross is a 501 ©
(3) organization (Tax I.D. #95-1643966), and receives no government funding, our
ability to provide services to those in need is directly dependent on community
financial support.
We hope you will join with others in making this
important evening a success. A Response Form is enclosed for your
convenience. If you have any questions please contact Marcia Caldirola at
marcia@redcrossofsantamonica.org or call (310) 394-3773.
