Heroes taking part in the American Red Cross of Northwest Missouri are still trying to raise funds with just a few weeks left to go.

The Red Cross kicked off its annual campaign in March hoping to raise $137,250 by the end of the campaign’s centennial celebration slated for May 18 at Missouri Western State University.  Ex. Dir. Angie Springs said Monday they are only halfway to that goal with only 24 days left.

“This campaign is our only non-reactive fundraiser that we run throughout the year that helps fund what we do right here in northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas,” Springs said.

Funds assist the Red Cross with disaster services, health, safety and preparedness, blood services and services to armed forces.
