CBS11 and TX21 Keep the Red Cross Ready With $5,000 Donation



This past spring we announced that CBS 11 and TX21 were going to promote NOAA weather radios sales at area Walgreens stores to benefit the D/FW Red Cross chapters.

Well we're pleased to report that yesterday CBS 11 Chief Meteorologist Larry Mowry(middle), presented Jessica Dunn, Dallas Area Chapter (left), and Patricia Thomson, Chisholm Trail Chapter (right) with a check for $5,000. We are so excited and so grateful for their support!

We're also proud of the CBS 11 and TX 21 viewers that purchased weather radios.

September is National Preparedness Month, a time set aside for the last seven years to encourage Americans to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities.


The American Red Cross-Dallas Area Chapter urges North Texas residents to make a renewed effort this month to prepare for emergencies such as fires, floods or storms. Our free online education program, Be Red Cross Ready, can walk you through the three key preparedness steps: getting an emergency kit, making an emergency plan and being informed.

You can start by purchasing a weather radio for your home, if you have not already done so.

Learn more about being prepared by visiting www.redcrossdallas.org/.

CBS11 to Profile Red Cross Volunteers Tonight!


Tonight at 5pm and 6pm, people we helped after Hurricane Katrina will be profiled on CBS11. Tune in to see Delores James who went from evacuee to FWISD school teacher and two of our favorite volunteers, Angie and Nelson Lanehart. Nelson was an evacuee who sheltered in McKinney. Angie was the shelter manager. Love bloomed and now they're married. Good stories!
