The Henderson County Red Cross Heroes campaign is wrapping up and has raised more than three times the original goal. The announcement was made Thursday, March 31, 2011 at breakfast meeting by executive director, Mike Williams. By the end of the day, more than $31,000 had been raised with contributions still coming in.
“This is the first time we’ve ever done this,” said Charlie Cranford, chair for the campaign, which sends out local heroes to collect donations for the Red Cross. “It’s just nice to know we live in a community where everyone helps each other out.”
Morrow Insurance’s Charlie Cranford was chair of the campaign and had nine co-chairs who worked with him to raise the funds. Other Morrow Heroes assisting with the campaign were Joyce Biddix, Christina Dinardo, Beth Fagan, Linda Thomas and Carolyn Wilson.
Congratulations to all for a job well done.
