This year's Fire & Ice Gala was truly unforgettable-an extraordinary evening that raised a record-breaking $400,000+ in support of the American Red Cross. We were thrilled to honor Stewart's Shops as the recipient of this year's Clara Barton Humanitarian Spirit Award, celebrating its longstanding dedication to our mission and to helping neighbors in need.
Thank you for being part of such a remarkable celebration. Your generosity and enthusiasm help ensure the Red Cross is always ready to deliver hope, comfort, and lifesaving services in moments that matter most. On behalf of the entire Red Cross team and our Gala Steering Committee, thank you for helping make this year's Fire & Ice Gala an incredible success-one we will remember for years to come.
