"The Time Is Now ... The Need Is Real" Campaign
to Build New Red Cross Facility
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc.
(AAMG) and Standard Federal Bank recently pledged $100,000 to the American Red
Cross capital campaign. The donation, which will be paid over the next 10
years, will support the building of a new American Red Cross facility in
Washtenaw County.
The donation will support the doubling of the operational space of the
Washtenaw County chapter of the American Red Cross. Additionally, it will
increase opportunities for blood collections, emergency services and community
volunteerism by providing the space necessary to facilitate daily operations
as well as volunteer workstations.
"AAMG has a long history of commitment to the local community, from the
decision to build a new headquarters at Avis Farms to the continued support of
local charities like the Red Cross," said AAMG executive vice president and
chief operational officer William A. Newman. "The Red Cross is critical to
the community, providing essential services to those most in need."
The Washtenaw County chapter of the American Red Cross built its first
headquarters in Ann Arbor in 1959. Since that time, the population of
Washtenaw County has doubled, amplifying the need for this new facility.
"The Red Cross is thrilled to receive such a generous gift in support of
its much-needed expansion," said Albert M. Berriz, campaign chair. "The
support from corporate community partners for this building project is
critical to the Red Cross' ability to help make a difference in the lives of
Washtenaw County residents."
AAMG and Standard Federal Bank each host quarterly blood drives for the
American Red Cross, donating over 1050 pints of blood to date.
