Red Cross Month: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Get CPR and First Aid Certified

the American Red Cross campaign: Honoring Lifesaving Heroes and Inspiring Action

this special month: Honoring Lifesaving Heroes and Inspiring Action

March is the American Red Cross campaign, a time to celebrate the organization’s lifesaving work and inspire more people to become trained in CPR, First Aid, and AED skills. Established in 1943 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Red Cross Month highlights the organization’s mission of preventing and alleviating human suffering in emergencies.

At Respond and Rescue, we believe in empowering our community through lifesaving training, and what better time to do that than during Red Cross Month?

The Powerful Mission of the Red Cross

The American Red Cross is one of the most recognized humanitarian organizations in the world. It provides disaster relief, blood donations, support for military families, health and safety training, and international aid. Its work has saved countless lives, and it relies on trained responders like you to carry out its mission.

Each year, the Red Cross responds to more than 60,000 disasters, distributes nearly 7 million units of blood, and helps military families during crises. However, one of its most impactful services is its dedication to training individuals in lifesaving skills such as CPR, First Aid, and AED use.

This is why March is the perfect time to get certified and join a network of individuals ready to respond in an emergency.

Why Getting Certified Matters

Emergencies happen without warning. Whether it’s sudden cardiac arrest, a choking incident, or a severe injury, having the proper training can mean the difference between life and death. According to the American Heart Association, immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.

The Red Cross encourages everyone to get trained — from parents and teachers to healthcare providers and business owners. At Respond and Rescue, we offer certified American Heart Association (AHA) courses, ensuring you receive high-quality training that meets industry standards.
