Big Day of Giving is a 24-hour online giving challenge that brings together the Sacramento region to raise money for nearly 600 nonprofits and shine a spotlight on the work local organizations do to strengthen the capital area each day!
Make a difference during #BDOG2018 on Thursday, May 3, and donate to the American Red Cross Gold Country Region. This year, we are raising funds for Sound the Alarm, the Red Cross’ national initiative to install free smoke alarms in at-risk communities.
Each year, the Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters nationwide, the majority of which are home fires. So, we set a goal to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries in the U.S. by 25%.
Did you know….
- On average 7 people die every day from a home fire, most impacting children and the elderly
- 36 people suffer injuries related to home fires every day
- Over $7 billion in property damage occurs every year
Help the Gold Country Region do its part to reduce injury and death related to home fires by donating now!
