                Proclamation 10703 of February 29, 2024

                
American Red Cross Month, 2024

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                This month, we honor the American Red Cross for its 
                humanitarian commitment to serve communities across the 
                United States and around the world. We celebrate each 
                and every selfless employee and volunteer as an 
                ambassador of American generosity, who upholds a sacred 
                mandate to leave no person behind.

                Founded more than 140 years ago by Clara Barton, the 
                American Red Cross has led with compassion and care, 
                assisting neighbors and fellow Americans when they find 
                themselves in some of the most agonizing circumstances 
                they have ever faced. Throughout the biggest cities and 
                the smallest towns, American Red Cross workers perform 
                heroic acts of service across the United States and 
                abroad. When wildfires devour neighborhoods, tornadoes 
                uproot towns, earthquakes devastate homes and 
                businesses, hurricanes whip beachfronts, and rivers 
                rise and ruin neighborhoods and city streets, Red Cross 
                volunteers are there to provide food, create temporary 
                shelters, and help people recover and rebuild. While 
                climate change has led to the increasing intensity and 
                frequency of the world's natural disasters, Red Cross 
                volunteers continue to serve as beacons of light, 
                bringing hope to those facing some of the darkest hours 
                and offering life-saving support at home and overseas.

                During American Red Cross Month, I encourage everyone 
                who is able to give blood and volunteer to help local 
                communities in need. You can learn more about the 
                process of donating blood online at redcross.org. Let 
                us all use the dedication of the American Red Cross as 
                an example this month and recommit in our own lives to 
                lead with compassion and care. When we see others who 
                are struggling, let us embody the generosity of the 
                American spirit and resolve to lend them a helping 
                hand.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America and Honorary Chair of the 
                American Red Cross, by virtue of the authority vested 
                in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United 
                States, do hereby proclaim March 2024 as American Red 
                Cross Month. I encourage all Americans to observe this 
                month with relevant programs, ceremonies, and 
                activities and to support the work of service and 
                relief organizations.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of 
                the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                eighth.
