Cause-Related Marketing Opportunities
The Red Cross offers programs for your company to partner with the most trusted humanitarian organization in the world.

Donate a Portion of Proceeds
Partner with the Red Cross to donate a portion of the proceeds from a product or service sold by your company or from all sales during a specific time period. Partners may designate a period within their timeframe, choose to work with the Red Cross during Red Cross Month (March), or during times of major disaster.

Dressing for Disaster Victims: One dollar a day
Give your employees the opportunity to wear work day casual or even jeans for a week at the office by asking each participating employee to give a minimum donation of $5.00 to Red Cross Emergency Services programs (disaster relief and military services). At the end of the promotion, your company may match the funds raised by your employees to show support to your surrounding community. This program can be modified to allow your company to designate the number of “dress down” days.

Cross Out Local Disasters
Connect your company with the local community in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties by allowing customers to donate $1 for one cross, Red Cross that is. At local customer locations, the Red Cross can provide a minimum of 500 squares, with in-store posters and flyers, for your employees to sell. Customers can write their name on the Red Cross squares and post them throughout the location reinforcing your company’s support to the local Red Cross. This is at no cost to your company, just your employees’ time.
