Vote for Red Cross for First Tennessee 150 Days of Giving

An important message from Regional CEO, Joel Sullivan:

You may have already heard the news about this exciting state-wide initiative, but we are very pleased to announce that our community partners at First Tennessee Bank just celebrated their 150th birthday on March 25th, 2014.  For 150 days, from now until August 9th, they are giving away $5,000 per day for each non-profit organization that gets the most votes.  We need your NOW to help the Red Cross win! 
The Mid-South Chapter and the Nashville Area Chapter of the American Red Cross are still in the running to win $5,000 each! All you need to do is VOTE for “American Red Cross of the Mid-South” and “American Red Cross Nashville” to help us win and then share the message on your e-mail and social media networks so others can vote too!  Make sure to click the blue “Vote” button directly underneath our Chapter logo or name on the First Tennessee website to place your vote.  You can vote on every day on every electronic device you have access to since there is no log in information required to vote.  Remember to vote on your desktop computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc. and encourage others to do so as well.  ALL votes are cumulative for each organization, so all of your previous votes will still count!

In summary, here are 3 easy steps you can take to help us win:

1)      VOTE for the Mid-South and Nashville Area Chapters every day on all your electronic devices.

2)      Help us spread the word through your own social media and e-mail networks.

3)      Feel good about helping us raise $10,000 ($5k for each Chapter) so we can provide help & hope to those who need us! J

This gift of $5,000 can provide food and shelter to 25 families for 1 day in a shelter.  This service includes providing breakfast, lunch and dinner, the costs to mobilize and distribute a cot, two blankets and a comfort kit as well as the costs of Red Cross workers to provide this relief. 

We appreciate your support!
 
Sincerely,

Joel Sullivan
Regional CEO – Tennessee Volunteer Region
