A Message From the CEO

T.D. SmyersRegional Chief Executive OfficerAmerican Red Cross North Texas Region

2014 was a year of both great challenge and great accomplishment as we worked together to shape the future of Red Cross operations in the North Texas Region. While we span a wide swath of territory, around 121,000 square miles, our size hasn’t stopped us from helping people from the Texas Panhandle to Texarkana. Throughout this Annual Report, you’ll learn a great deal about what we do, including how we respond to emergencies, support America’s military families, teach lifesaving skills and offer assistance around the world. It’s an incredible mission and one that I’m proud we accomplish together.

While last year was one we’re proud of, I’m really excited for the year ahead and I wanted to take just a moment to share a few of the impactful campaigns that you’ll see us roll out:

Home Fire Campaign: The American Red Cross has undertaken a national initiative to reduce injuries and deaths from home fires by 25% over the next five years. For the first time, our organization is united in implementing this important initiative and you’ll see it happening in your local communities throughout the next few years. There are key areas in our region that are ranked as some of the most dangerous in America so they’ll all receive a special focus. Those areas include Amarillo, Arlington, Longview and Texarkana. On top of that, Red Cross volunteers will be fanned out near and far with one mission in mind – to save lives through prevention and education.

Ready 365: Americans have come to expect the American Red Cross to be ready at a moment’s notice –365 days a year. But we can’t do that alone so we’re reaching out to business leaders to join the movement. Through Ready 365, a new premium membership program, your company stands with the Red Cross as we provide lifesaving services. As our valued partner, you will join a select group of businesses and be spotlighted as a dedicated Red Cross donor.

Disaster Field Supply Center: Just a couple of months ago, we were honored to cut the ribbon on a new 174,000 square foot national disaster relief warehouse in Arlington, Texas. When the next major disaster impacts our country, volunteers will head to the Center in Arlington to start moving cots, blankets, hygiene and cooking supplies, toys for kids and many other items to the town/s that need them most. In the coming year, we’ll be hiring a new employee to work from this Arlington location and we’ll expand our reach by offering CPR and First Aid training and blood.

All in 1 Day: June 2 will mark the first nationwide fundraising drive for the American Red Cross. We’ll be reaching out to every community through every channel to encourage folks to give what they can on that day. The mission of the Red Cross is critical 24/7/365 so this campagin will give us the chance to educate communities about our role right where you live. We’ll need advocates to help us spread the word and we hope you’ll help. In the months ahead, we’ll be reaching out to you with creative ideas on how you can help us raise funds and share our mission.

These are just a handful of the new efforts we’re going to undertake that will lead to even more lives saved. It’s an honor to be a part of an organization that cares so deeply about the communities we serve. We are the sum of all of our parts –volunteers, donors, partners and advocates. I thank you for the privilege I’ve been afforded to lead one of the best regions in the nation.

Sincerely,

You Make It Possible

The American Red Cross North Texas Region serves 121 counties, from the Texas Panhandle to Texarkana

The American Red Cross North Texas Region provides vital services to 121 counties 365 days a year–from helping families become safer from home fires to providing emergency food, shlether and supplies to residents affected by floods or tornadoes.

We are able to provide these services thanks to a corps of 7,376 dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our donors. The American Red Cross puts these donations to good use–we are proud to tell donors that we spend an average of 91 cents of every dollar in humanitarian services and programs, well above the industry standard.

How do we do it? By practicing what we preach: preparedness. We train our volunteers. We plan ahead for the types of disasters that strike in our community. And we train individuals, businesses and community groups so that they too can be prepared.

The American Red Cross North Texas Region serves communities from the Texas Panhandle to Texarkana. In total, we work across 121 counties, covering more than half of the state. In this report, which covers fiscal year 2014 (July 1, 2013–June 30, 2014), you’ll learn about how we help our neighbors–down the street, across the country and around the world.

Page 5: North Texas Annual Report 2014

In addition to serving families affected by home fires, the Red Cross also supports first responders on the scenes of local disasters. A cup of coffee or a word of thanks is the least we can do to serve those who are always there to serve our community.

Down the Street

We’re ready to respond to disaster 7 days a week, 365 days a year in our community, providing shelter, food, clothing and emotional support at no cost to those in need. The North Texas Region is part of a nationwide network of Red Cross regions that work together to respond to large-scale relief efforts.

Home fires are the most common disaster to which the Red Cross responds. On average, the North Texas Region helps around six families each day. Although these fires don’t typically make the news as hurricanes or other large-scale events do, they are devestating for those who have suddenly lost their homes, possessions and sense of security.

In fiscal year 2014, the North Texas Region assisted 2,798 families affected by fires and other local disasters.

The North Texas Region also teaches families, organizations and corporations how to be prepared for emergencies through free educational presentations. Last year, 15,619 people attended community disaster education and preparedness programs across the region.

Every year, the North Texas Region teaches people the lifesaving skills they need to protect themselves and their families, including first aid, CPR and water safety.

We offer these trainings in multiple ways: onlien training, traditional classroom settings and full-service courses where we bring the training to your workplace or organization.

Last year, 67,391 individuals learned critical skills through Red Cross courses: 25,185 people enrolled in first aid/CPR/AED 25,168 people enrolled in water safety/aquatics 17,038 people enrolled in other health and safety courses

Armed Forces Bowl 2013

The American Red Cross was once again the philanthropic partner of the Bell Helicopter Armed Froces Bowl, December 30, 2013 at Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.

In the spirit of our Services to the Armed Forces programs that work to support America’s military families, we even reunited a sailor and his wife with their families on the field during the game.

Texas has the second-largest veteran population in the nation with 1.7 million veterans. The Texas counties with the highest numbers of veterans are Bell, Bexar, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Harris, Tarrant, Travis and Williamson.

Four of these counties are in the North Texas Region: Collin, Denton, Dallas and Tarrant.

According to a report by the Texas Workforce Investment Council (2012), 625,360 veterans reside in these four North Texas Region counties.

The Red Cross North Texas Region gives support to active-duty military members, National Guard and Reserve members, veterans and their families. We provide predeployment briefings, called “Get to Know Us Before You Need Us,” and connect families with needed resources when their loved ones are deployed.

Deployed service members also count on us to deliver emergency messages, such as notification of an illness or death in the family. Military families rely on these verified communications, which help commanders decide when to grant leave. We also provide support for the sick and wounded at military and veterans hospitals and assistance in obtaining emergency financial support.

During fiscal year 2014, the North Texas Region: Briefed 29,368 individuals through the “Get to Know Us Before You Need Us” program Provided 7,090 services to military members, veterans and families, including emergency commmunications

The Red Cross relies on the volunteer spirit and financial generosity of the American people to support America’s military families. Today, as always, the men and women of the American Red Cross continue to show our appreciation for the dedicated services and patriotic sacrifices of America’s military men and women and their families by being theere to support them wherever they are and whenever they need us.

Down the Street, Across the Country

The American Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters around the country every year. While many of them can be supported by local disaster responders in the affected area, sometimes there’s a need to call in more help. Often, volunteers trained in specific functions are called upon to deploy where their expertise is needed. In fiscal year 2014, nearly 600 North Texas staffers and volunteers responded to 20 different disaster relief operations around the U.S., from emergencies in their own backyard to states thousands of miles away. Here are just some of the disasters North Texan Red Crossers responded to in FY14:

In September of 2013, what was described as a “once in 1,000 years” flood event in Colorado killed eight people and forced thousands from their homes. The American Red Cross relief operation included more than 1,300 disaster responders, including 31 from North Texas.

In December of 2013, a massive winter storm hitting North Texas caused widespread power outages in sub-freezing temperatures. The Red Cross opened 11 shelters over a four-day period, providing residents with a much-needed warm place to stay. The operation was staffed entirely by more than 200 local disaster responders, working day and night.

In April of 2014, a tornado outbreak hit much of the central and southern United States, killing 35 people. More than 40 North Texas disaster workers deployed to Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas and northern Florida to assist with relief efforts.

In May of 2014, a fast-moving wildfire spread through the Texas Panhandle near the city of Fritch. More than 100 homes were destroyed and hundreds were forced to evacuate. 140 trained Red Cross volunteers and staffers from across North Texas deployed to help their neighbors to the west.

In addition to domestic disasters, the American Red Cross also supports our sister Red Cross and Red Crescent societies when disaster strikes around the world. The American Red Cross supported the Philippine Red Cross in their relief efforts after Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded, destroyed or damaged more than one million homes. The generous donations to the American Red Cross during the response were used to purchase and distribute relief items such as food, blankets, shelter, hygiene kits and mosquito nets, as well as funding cash grants to 59,000 families affected by the typhoon. The North Texas Region alone accounted for $1.6 million in donations to typhoon relief.

Teeing Off, Rocking Out For Relief

Fiscal year 2014 was a great year for the North Texas Region, as our generous supporters and volunteers came out all year to support our mission. Here are some of the highlights:

Superstorm Sandy Commemoration ForumsIn the fall of 2013, the Red Cross marked the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy with commemoration forums across North Texas. Nearly 200 Red Cross disaster responders from across North Texas deployed to the east coast to assist in Sandy relief efforts. The forum events were designed to celebrate their incredible work and acknowledge those who supported the Red Cross during its largest U.S. response in five years. Tom and Jeanne Gargiulo, a Long Island family directly impacted by the storm, made the trip to Texas to tell their personal story about how the Red Cross relief helped them on their road to recovery.

Swing For Relief 2013Our 15th Annual Swing For Relief Golf Tournament was held on September 23, 2013. Golfers hit the links at Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas for our longest-running fundraiser. The annual event raised more than $350,000 for disaster relief.

YPA Wrapped in Red 2013The Red Cross DFW Young Professionals Auxiliary (YPA) held their 2nd Annual Wrapped in Red Holiday Gala on December 13, 2013 at the Crescent Hotel. More than 100 supporters turned out to dance the night away in support of disaster relief. The Red Cross YPA is made up of young professional philanthropists giving their time and talents to directly impact lives in the DFW Metroplex through volunteering, fundraising and raising awareness for the Red Cross mission.

First Annual Red Cross B*A*S*HThis year, we brought a new event to Fort Worth to kick off March is Red Cross Month: the Red Cross B*A*S*H. This military-themed event, with food trucks, lives music and family fun, supported Service to the Armed Forces programs. Mayor Betsy Price of Fort Worth was on hand to officially proclaim March as Red Cross Month .

Southwest Airlines Heroes Award PresentationAs part of Red Cross Month, the Red Cross presented Southwest Airlines with the 2014 North Texas Region Heroes Award for their longtime support of the Red Cross mission. Red Cross National Board of Governors member Jim Keyes and his wife Margo, along with Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Red Cross North Texas Regional CEO T.D. Smyers, presented the award to Southwest CEO Gary Kelly in a special reception on March 27, 2014.

Rock Out For Red CrossWe closed out Red Cross Month with a benefit concert from country star Cory Morrow and special guest The Keith Mitchell Band, March 27, 2014 at Gilley’s in Dallas. Mayor Mike Rawlings of Dallas served as the honorary event chair, with all event proceeds benefiting disaster relief.

Statewide Disaster DrillOn June 7, 2014, chapters across the North Texas Region participat-ed in a statewide disaster drill, designed to simulate a tornado disaster. Volunteers practiced setting up and running a Red Cross shelter, working with community partners and even monitoring and responding to social media messages like the kind Red Cross digital volunteers would see in a real-life emergency. Learnings from the exercise helped volunteers become better prepared to respond to future disasters.

On April 3, 2014, the American Red Cross North Texas Region opened a new Digital Operations Center (DigiDOC) in its Dallas chapter. The new social media command center, powered by Dell, allows the Red Cross to monitor social conversations before and during disasters to help anticipate needs and connect more people with resources during an emergency. North Texas is the first region to receive this innovative technology outside of our national headquarters in Washington, D.C.

With the launch of the new center, the North Texas Region has been working to build its digital volunteer program, comprised of trained public affairs volunteers who engage with people on social media platforms to provide critical safety tips, relief information and emotional support during disasters, as well as important situational awareness information from social media monitoring to the relief operation. Since its launch, the North Texas Digital Operations Center has provided digital support for regional and national relief operations, including the April 2014 Arkansas tornado outbreak and the Fritch, Texas wildfires.

The opening of the Digital Operations Center in North Texas is the result of the region’s long-standing strong reputation in the social space. The North Texas Region was the first local chapter to use digital volunteers to assist its communities online during local emergencies. For more than two years, locally based digital volunteers have provided preparedness and response information during emergencies of all sizes, from severe weather outbreaks to major area disasters like the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion and the tornado outbreak in Granbury and Cleburne in 2013.

Like our national DigiDOC, the North Texas Digital Operations Center is powered and funded entirely by our generous partners at Dell.

T.D. Smyers, Regional CEO of the Red Cross, and Deb Bauer, Director of Strategic Giving and Community Engagement at Dell, push the button to officially unveil the new Digital Operations Center.

more than 2,000 veterans and family members, and we trained more than 300 dental and medical assistants on military installations and in civilian communities.

For more than 100 years, the Red Cross has taught people the skills they need to prepare and respond to emergencies, and these days, learning lifesaving skills couldn’t be easier.

Along with introducing new classes such as Advanced Child-Care Training, we continue to develop new mobile apps to help people prepare for and respond to emergencies, as well as make it easier for people to help others. In the past year, the Red Cross introduced four

century and is the premier provider of Nurse Assistant Training (NAT), which provides training for entry-level health care careers. Over the past two years, 2,500 students across the U.S. were able to enter the NAT program thanks to a $3.5 million grant from the Walmart Foundation.

Providing Blood as We Adapt to Change The American Red Cross is the nation’s single largest supplier of blood and blood products, and every day, we help save lives and enable those with chronic conditions to enjoy life to the fullest.

In recent years, overall demand for blood products has dropped as medical treatments advance and fewer transfusions are necessary. The Red Cross strongly supports blood management, which minimizes the need for transfusions by optimizing patient care before, during and after surgery. At the same time, the Red Cross must adapt to this decline in demand by ensuring our resources are focused on the right areas.

While the demand for blood has decreased, the need for donors and donations remains a critical part of the lifesaving process. Many people are not eligible to give blood due to travel, medication or a health condition. Of the approximately 38 percent of the population who are eligible, only a fraction of those actually donate.

The Red Cross must collect approximately 15,000 units of blood each day to meet the needs of accident victims, cancer patients, children with blood disorders and others. To meet this need, our teams have renewed their focus on recruiting donors and blood drive sponsors, planning and scheduling, and collecting blood and platelets. The Red Cross has also been making changes to provide the best value in blood and blood products to hospitals.

To help combat the typical decline in summer blood donations, in May 2014 the Red Cross launched a campaign called “100 Days of Summer. 100 Days of Hope.” to urge eligible donors to give blood and platelets, reminding everyone that summer is a time when they can give hope to those who are suffering by donating blood. The campaign began Memorial Day weekend and ran until September 1.

A safe and adequate blood supply is critical, as this recipient attests.

2014 at a Glance

• 5.5 million people received disaster assistance from the American Red Cross and our global Red Cross and Red Crescent network partners.• 211 million children were protected against measles.• Nearly 10,000 families in the U.S. turned to the American Red Cross to find loved ones missing internationally following armed conflicts and disasters.

12

Working with the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, the American Red Cross has helped meet the needs of the world’s most vulnerable communities for more than a century, and our work continued over the past year with disasters, disease prevention and conflicts.

In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines, damaging or destroying more than 1 million homes. The American Red Cross immediately sent disaster response specialists, relief supplies and financial assistance to the Philippines, working with the Philippine Red Cross to deliver aid. The American Red Cross has led to the Red Cross effort that provided cash grants, 59,000 families and is working with partners on longterm recovery efforts. More than 1 million Filipinos have received lifesaving Red Cross assistance since Haiyan struck.

Technology plays an important part in Red Cross relief operations and preparedness efforts. Last year, the American Red Cross Global Geographic Information Systems team provided remote mapping support for emergencies around the world, including Typhoon Haiyan and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. In addition, more than 2,700 volunteers made 11 million edits to maps on the OpenStreetMap platform, which helped relief workers from the Red Cross and other partner agencies speed relief to disaster survivors.

The popularity of the Red Cross First Aid App in the U.S. led the Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC), a resource center created by the American Red Cross and the global Red Cross netework, to develop a platform for the easy adaptation and localization of the First Aid app. This allows each local Red Cross and Red Crescent society to create its own version of the app. As of June, 2014 the apps have been released in more than 23 countries.

The Measles & Rubella Initiative, a partnership in the American Red Cross helped establish, has vaccinated more than 1.1 billion children since 2001, and measles deaths have declined by 78 percent. The initiative has also handed out more than 41 million bed nets to prevent malaria and provided 207 million doses of the polio vaccine, ensuring children are protected against these devastating diseases.

A Red Cross volunteer had visited her house before when her eldest son, Atatef, fell ill with measles. The chance to vaccinate and protect her youngest son was an opportunity she couldn’t miss.

Tiffany Circle Society of Women Leaders

The women in these windows personify virtues at work in the Red Cross Movement: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues in their local communities by ensuring the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to life's emergencies.

The name “Tiffany” and the $10,000 amount have historical precedence. The society is named for the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governors Hall at Red Cross national headquarters in Washington, D.C. These windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, were commissioned by Red Cross President Mabel Boardman in 1917. As an act of reconciliation and hope, they were paid for with a $5,000 gift from the Women's Relief Corps of the North and $5,000 from the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South.
