The month of March signals the return of Spring, holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, and daylight savings time. On a much larger scale, the third month of the year brings about a number of awareness campaigns aimed at engaging the public to, you guessed it, bring more awareness to specific causes and observances. In the United States, the whole month of March is American Red Cross Month.
2021 marks the 140th Anniversary since the Red Cross was founded in May of 1881 by Clara Barton. Since then, Barton’s legacy has lived on as the organization does everything from helping during disasters to ensuring communities have access to blood donations. The American Red Cross month observance came along in 1943 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first proclamation deeming it so.
