Attention Businesses and Civic Organizations in Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties

The Coastal Carolina Chapter of the American Red Cross needs your help. We depend on donations from our local community to provide humanitarian services to our four county jurisdictions. The current economic situation has had a negative impact on our donations, in turn, this may have a direct effect on the services we provide to the community. Services include: Health, Safety, and Disaster Response and Services to the Armed Forces.

Your business or civic organization can make a positive impact in your community by holding a fundraising event for the Coastal Carolina Chapter.

Some fundraising ideas include:

- Hold a sports tournament (golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, etc. tournament) and encourage your clients and staff to participate.
- Sponsor a breakfast, lunch, or dinner for your clients and local residents.
- Include a line on your email signature that you support the Coastal Carolina Chapter of the American Red Cross and provide a hyperlink to www.ccc-arc.org.
- Add our logo and a hyperlink from your website to ours.
- Place a secure donation container with a small opening on the receptionist’s desk or business countertop.
- Hold a garage sale by asking your community to donate items for the garage sale with proceeds going to the local Chapter of the Red Cross.
- Conduct a silent auction for the local Chapter of the Red Cross.

For more information about partnering with the Coastal Carolina Chapter of the American Red Cross, please contact us at 252-637-3405 or email donation@ccc-arc.org . Thank you in advance for your participation.
