Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, always
looked ahead, saying, "I have faith in the possibility
of something better." The legions of volunteers who
have followed her lead have made the Red Cross the foremost
humanitarian service agency in the world, able to make the
"possibility of something better" a reality, thanks
to gracious donors.
The American Red Cross, Broward County Chapter serves a vital purpose in the community.
