Thank you to our Sponsors and Disaster Blaster Event Committee!

Since our founding by Clara Barton on May 21, 1881, the American Red Cross has been dedicated to serving people in need. We received our first congressional charter in 1900 and to this day we continue providing services to members of the American armed forces and their families as well as providing disaster relief in the United States and around the world. The Red Cross Bluegrass Area Chapter provides preparedness education, responds to disasters like home fires and floods, and other services to thousands of people annually. 

The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money and resources from individuals in the local community, corporate partners and like-minded foundations to do its work. Red Cross Services are provided throughout Kentucky and Southern Indiana thanks to the commitment of thousands of local volunteers. 

Your support of Disaster Blaster helps provide life-saving services in your community every day!
