🎉 Today, we honor Dr. Charles R. Drew on his birthday. A pioneer in blood banking whose groundbreaking work helped transform modern blood donation and save countless lives. 🩸

His research on blood storage and large-scale blood banks continues to shape the lifesaving work of the American Red Cross every day. ❤️

Dr. Drew’s legacy lives on through every donor, every volunteer and every patient helped because someone chose to give.

It's National CPR and AED Awareness Week (June 1–7) — and the most important thing to know is this: most cardiac emergencies happen at home. 🏠

That means the people most likely to need your help are the ones you love most.

You don't need to be a medical professional to save a life. Hands-only CPR is something anyone can learn, and knowing where to find a nearby AED could make all the difference in those critical first minutes.

Here's where to start:
❤️ Learn hands-only CPR
📍 Locate AEDs in your home, workplace and community
📚 Take a CPR class — in person or online

Every second counts. Take a class today and be ready when it matters most:

🐶 Taking your furry friend for a ride this summer? 🚗 Keep them safe by never leaving them locked in the car — even for a quick errand! On warm days, temperatures inside a vehicle can climb to 120 degrees or higher in minutes (even in the shade). That kind of heat can quickly lead to heat stroke or worse for your pet.

If you need to make a stop, it’s safest to leave your pets at home. ❤️

Grab your tents and sleeping bags, because camping season is here! 🏕️🌲 If you’re heading into the great outdoors, don’t forget to pack a first aid kit. Cell service can be limited, and it may take time for first responders to reach you in an emergency.

You can also download the Red Cross First Aid App to learn how to treat severe wounds, broken bones, bites, stings, and more.

💐 April showers bring May flowers … and storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, too. Yikes! Spring is one of the most active weather seasons of the year.

Prepare your household before severe weather strikes. Build an emergency kit for your home and car, create an evacuation plan, and follow local accounts for weather and emergency updates.

Then, once you’re ready, take a moment to stop and smell the roses 🌹 Knowing you’ve taken steps to help protect yourself and your loved ones can bring peace of mind no matter the forecast.
