American Red Cross accepts $10,000 donation from TeamHealth

The American Red Cross received a $10,000 donation on March 18 from TeamHealth to support its humanitarian services. The check was presented at the TeamHealth offices in Knoxville, TN.

The donation stems from TeamHealth’s 2012 holiday card campaign. Recipients of the annual TeamHealth holiday card were directed to a special website, TeamHealthGives.com, where they could vote for an organization to receive a $10,000 donation. The majority of participants cast ballots for the American Red Cross.

“We are proud to support the American Red Cross and its mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies,” said Barbara Blevins, Chief Operating Officer for TeamHealth Hospital Based Services.

“We are so grateful to TeamHealth for this financial investment and generous gift to support our efforts,” said Lori Marsh, American Red Cross Development Officer.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
