Club Red Past Projects and Events:
Fight the Bite Bar Night
February 2008
Club Red hosted a fundraiser at Piola in Arlington to benefit the Malaria Prevention Program of the American Red Cross. Donations were collected at the door and 15% of the bar proceeds were donated to the cause. Approximately 50 people attended and we raised approximately $1,400 which allowed us to send 140 bed nets to families in Africa.
Thank-a-Thon
February 2008
Club Red volunteers came to the Chapter one cold February evening to make personal phone calls to the Chapter’s recent financial donors to offer a friendly “Thank You!” Over 1,000 calls were made by approximately 20 volunteers. Their work paid off! The Chapter saw a great increase in the number of repeat donors in the month of March!
March Mania Silent Auction
March 2008
Several members of Club Red planned the Silent Auction portion of March Mania, our Chapter’s basketball tournament fundraiser. Volunteers collected in-kind donations to be auctioned off. Over $4,000 was raised for the Chapter through their volunteer efforts! Go Club Red!
First Aid / CPR Course
April 2008
Club Red members were offered the chance to take the Adult CPR/First Aid with AED course for the discounted price of $20 (normally the class is over $50). Several members took the course and became certified.
Wine Tasting
May 2008
Club Red hosted a wine tasting fundraiser with the help of Curious Grape. The event was held at Courtland Towers in Arlington. The cost of attending was $25 for Club Red members and $35 for non-members. Participants got to experience eight wines from around the world and learn about each! Approximately 30 people attended and a portion of the proceeds was donated to the Chapter, allowing us to raise over $400!

Club Red hosted a Red Cross blood drive at the Arlington County Chapter on Saturday, May 31, 2008. Six Club Red members staffed the registration and refreshment stations at the drive, and 24 productive units of blood were collected.
