With the goal of raising 600,000 pesos this year (about $35,000 USD), the 2018 Red Cross collection drive kicked off on February 21st .
The 2018 fundraising drive, under the motto “We Need your Hands to Keep Helping”, began with an initial donation of 40,000 pesos presented by the Mayor to staff, board members, and volunteers of the local Red Cross.
Donation spots will be set up now through April 30th in front of the Red Cross on Blvd. Fremont, as well as at the intersection of Blvd. Juarez and Calle 13. Funds raised will be used to maintain ambulances as well as for ongoing expenses at the institution. The entire community is encouraged to participate in this year’s Red Cross Fund Drive!
