Join us for our 5th Annual H.O.P.E. Breakfast on November 17--Learn More Today!

Your local Red Cross is changing lives of those in your own community. What if you could help make a difference in the lives of your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors when the next disaster or emergency strikes?

You can by joining us for a complimentary breakfast on Thursday, November 17 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at Ceruti's Summit Park at 6601 Innovation Blvd. in Fort Wayne as part of our 5th Annual H.O.P.E. (Helping Others Prepare for Emergencies) breakfast. This is a fundraising breakfast, but there is no minimum or maximum gift requested. All contributions will support the local programs and services provided by the American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana. The Red Cross is a non-profit organization, not a government agency.

Hear stories from our clients about how your local Red Cross assisted during their time of need and helps those in the community each day. Special guest speaker Dave Sanderson will share how leadership, teamwork and preparation were the keys to success in ensuring that U.S. Airways flight 1549 truly became a miracle. Surving "The Miracle on the Hudson", Dave will recount his story of rescue and recovery. Hear how the Red Cross offered him HOPE as he was pulled from the frigid waters and wrapped in a Red Cross blanket by a volunteer.

For more information or to RSVP for the breakfast, please contact Linda Conkle at (260) 484.9336 ext. 204 or ConkleL@usa.redcross.org today! We'd love to be able to share our Red Cross story with you.

Interested in inviting family, friends and/or co-workers to the event? Ask Linda about becoming a table captain.
