Regional Executive Corner with Joel Sullivan - February 2015

Join Me for the HCA/TriStar Health Lifesaver Breakfast

One of my favorite events each year during March is Red Cross Month is our Lifesaver Breakfast.  I am asking you to please join me at the HCA/TriStar Health Lifesaver Breakfast on Thursday, March 5, at 7:30 a.m. at the Omni Hotel in downtown Nashville. Each year, the Lifesaver Breakfast hosts Nashville’s most influential business and community leaders, sharing the mission of the American Red Cross and raising the financial funding resources necessary to provide their core humanitarian services.

I’m pleased to announce Steve Forbes, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media, as this year’s keynote speaker. In addition to serving as Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media since 1990, Forbes is a renowned author and philanthropist. We are incredibly honored to host Steve Forbes as our keynote speaker this year and believe that his experiences in philanthropy and leadership are a perfect reflection of the backbone of our organization, the wonderful people who continue to support our mission day in and day out.

Nashville-based Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) is this year’s Title Sponsor.  A leading provider of healthcare services, HCA is committed to the care and improvement of human life.

In addition to HCA’s support, Nissan will be recognized as a Legacy Sponsor for their longstanding partnership with the American Red Cross in Middle TN.

Jan and Harry Jacobson will serve as chairpersons of the HCA/TriStar Health Lifesaver Breakfast. The Jacobson’s have had tremendous impact within the community and beyond with their charitable involvement with non-profit organizations.

Last year’s event raised more than $500,000, a record-setting amount to support the vital mission of the American Red Cross.

As you know, it is not if a disaster will strike, but when.  Thanks to your support, your American Red Cross team is ready to serve at a moment’s notice to alleviate human suffering.
