TEXAS RANGERS ANNOUNCE INITIATIVES TO ASSIST VICTIMS

OF TUESDAY’S TORNADOES

Arlington, TX--The Texas Rangers and Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation are encouraging all fans to seek out ways to support the communities affected by the devastating tornadoes this week.

Fans can donate to the American Red Cross local chapters for disaster relief by calling 1-800-RED CROSS, texting Redcross to 90999, or visiting Redcross.org/donate.

The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation will also offer fans these ways to get involved:

-The proceeds from the silent auction at the club's annual Welcome Home Luncheon on Thursday will be donated to the Relief efforts along with any funds collected onsite.

-The proceeds from the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation Prize Wheel at Friday’s season opener will go to help local communities affected by the storms.

-The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation will also make a financial contribution.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the individuals who have been affected by the tornadoes on Tuesday,” commented Rangers CEO and President Nolan Ryan. “The entire Texas Rangers organization applauds the efforts of all local officials, law enforcement agencies, relief agencies and weather services for keeping people safe and informed during the events of Tuesday’s storms. We ask our fans to join us in assisting in the relief efforts.”

Partnerships Run Deep in Texas

Written by Rusty Surrette

Southwest Airlines donated thousands of snacks today that were immediately loaded on trucks to be handed out at shelters and in communities impacted by the tornadoes in Texas.

"We're a proud supporter of the Red Cross and the work that they do, and we're happy to help out," said Southwest Airlines spokeswoman Marylee McInnis. "We think that this is very important that we give back to our community."

Following a disaster, Red Cross volunteers work around the clock to open shelters and provide food to affected families. In the middle of chaos and disaster, something as simple as a cup of coffee or a bag of pretzels can provide a sense of comfort and normalcy to those who have lost everything. 


We work with our partners and supporters - before, during and after a disaster - to keep snacks, beverages, blankets, cleaning supplies, tarps and other essential items stocked, positioned in warehouses around the nation, ready to go at a moments notice.

When you make a donation to the Red Cross, you're not only supporting our mission of helping families, but you're also giving us the opportunity to prepare for the next tornado, fire or flood.

If you would like to become a supporter of the Red Cross, please call 1-800-REDCROSS or visit www.redcrossdallas.org today.
