The promise has been the same for more than a
century: We’ll be there whenever we’re needed.

On the scene of natural disasters to offer relief.

In communities to help people prevent or prepare for
emergencies.

On the scientific cutting edge, searching for ways to improve
the quality of human lives.

In 1998, we were there for victims of a devastating hurricane
season, as well as 60,000 other disasters. Driven by the daily
responsibility or providing half the nation’s blood supply, we
completed a $287 million transformation of our blood banking
system.

We were there on September 11, 2001. And when Hurricane
Isabel struck in 2003.

We taught millions of American new and improved health and
safety skills. And, through modernized communications, we
helped U.S. military families cope with emergencies more
effectively than ever. In fact, each of our humanitarian
programs and services is a demonstration of our commitment
to be there for everyone who needs us.
