A Message from the Regional Chapter Chair and Regional Chief

Executive Officer

The American Red Cross is an organization that is at its best when times are at their worst. From the fire that leaves a family without a home, to lifesaving transfusions, to emergency communication for soldiers and their families; when people need to rely on the Red Cross, the Red Cross is there. During this past year, we have placed particular emphasis on streamlining processes and enhancing regional systems to better serve our communities and honor our donor intent. Working as one Red Cross across the country and within our region has given us the power to meet the growing needs of our communities. We can insure that wherever you live, you have access to Red Cross services. At the core of the Red Cross are the people that make Red Cross services possible. Our volunteers comprise the majority of the Red Cross workforce, and are the ones responding to the disaster scene in the middle of the night, giving briefings to deploying soldiers and family members, teaching lifesaving training, serving in leadership roles and just being there when needed. Leading our way are the Boards of Directors and Leadership Councils throughout the region. They provide governance and oversight to ensure the Red Cross operates wisely and meets its mission to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Their personal involvement makes a difference in the communities we serve. Another very special group of people are blood donors. Every two seconds, someone needs blood or blood products and these generous donors make sure that the right type is there at the right time…..truly lifesaving. All of the Red Cross services require funding, and financial donors are a big part of the picture. Whether individuals, groups, companies or foundations, each financial donor is a critical part of our ability to be there when needed. We are proud to present the first Midwest River Region annual report. As you read through, you

will find stories from your community and throughout the region. For every story in this report of

local heroes and families whose lives have been changed by the Red Cross, there are more that

are left untold. We all have a Red Cross story; and this great organization belongs to each of us.

It has been an honor to serve alongside you when we were needed. There is nothing more

heartwarming than the generosity of the human spirit.

Housefires to Hurricanes 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 Midwest River 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 Midwest River Region responds to five home fires a week. Although these fires don’t typically make the news as hurricanes or other large-scale events do, they are devastating for those who have suddenly lost their homes, possessions and sense of security. In fiscal year 2012, the Midwest River Region assisted 308 families affected by fires and otherlocal disasters.

When a fire destroyed her home in Bureau County, Janet Graham remembers the shock of not having anything. “We had our cars and our family, but that was all.” Her daughter told her that she needed a pen and a pad of paper for school the next day. “I am the mom – I always have lots of pens and paper in my office, but I looked at our burning house and then back at her and told her “If I had a pen, I would give it to you.” The American Red Cross was there that night in Tiskilwa when the Graham family was in need. Disaster workers wrapped the family in homemade quilts and provided them with money to purchase winter clothes and food. They even made sure that Janet’s daughter had a pen and paper for school.

Preparing for the Unexpected Every year, the Midwest River 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: online training, traditional classroom settings and full-service courses where we bring the training to your workplace or organization.

Last year, 44,797 individuals learned critical skills through Red Cross courses• 25,012 people enrolled in first aid/CPR/AED• 8,954 people enrolled in water safety/aquatics • 10,831 people enrolled in other health and safety courses

Medical emergencies can happen anywhere, making it especially important to have Red Cross lifeguards with surveillance, rescue, first aid and CPR/AED skills in the community. Last summer along the Western Illinois Chapter trained more than 100 lifeguards. While leisurely swimming last summer at the city pool, a swimmer began having seizures and required immediate assistance. Two Red Cross trained lifeguards were quick to respond. While one lifeguard initiated emergency call response, the other lifeguard was in the water providing rescue and necessary aid, saving the swimmers life.

A Hero in our Midst

On October 12, 2011, 5-year old Heaven was all smiles at the Grand Harbor Resortand Waterpark in Dubuque before she capsized from her flotation device and was found face down in the water. Brad, the lifeguard on duty, was the first to respond and after checking her vitals and finding shedid not have a pulse, he immediately began performing CPR. It took about 2½ minutesbefore she finally started to respond.

Brad’s fast thinking, composure, confidence, and the Red Cross lifesaving training he received thanks to his employer, Grand Harbor Resort and Water Park, saved Heaven’s life and made him a true hero.

Serving the Military, Their Families and VeteransThe Red Cross gives support to active-duty military members, National Guard and Reserve members, veterans and their families. We provide pre-deployment briefings and connect families with needed resources when their loved ones are deployed.

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

During fiscal year 2012, the Midwest River Region provided 1,414 services to militarymembers, veterans and families.

A family in Freeport, Illinois experienced the kindness the Red Cross provided when communicating an emergency message to a member of the Air Force stationed in Germany. Within 24 hours of being notified that his mother was critically ill, Tim was with his mother. Thanks to the Red Cross and his family, Tim was able to provide comfort tohis mother for several of the difficult weeks that followed. “The efficiency of the Red Cross and all of their aid during this crisis in our family will always be remembered and appreciated,” said Sandra Poehlman.

Blood—Making Sure It’s AvailableWe supported the efforts of the American Red Cross Blood Services, which processes, tests and safeguards blood collected from donors throughout the United States. One Dubuque man, who recently and unexpectedly passed away, donated blood religiously since the 1970s. He could be counted on to arrive with a smile and great stories. While his job as a charter bus driver kept him on the road, he made sure to schedule appointments every time that he was in town. He happily filled in when there was a need and was dedicated to saving lives through his donation. Donors like these are the lifeline of the Red Cross.

Support in Rock Falls

Within a few days of her husband’s deploy-ment from Rock Falls, Illinois, a military wife, who was also a Red Cross volunteer, was faced with tragedy. Her father had passed away just days after the July 4th send off ofher soldier. Because of the briefing she had attended, she called the Red Cross for help. She was assured that the Red Cross would deliver the message; however, she was told that the holiday weekend and the unit in tran-sit may delay the process. She was pleasantly surprised that within 30 minutes of calling the Red Cross, her husband was able to return her call and his command had granted him leave to help her face her grief.

Across the Country

Through a network of more than 500 chapters, 36 blood services regions and a presence on military installations across the country, the American Red Cross helps people when they need it most: when disaster strikes; when a hospital patient is in need of lifesaving blood; when a military family needs emergency assistance; and when people want to learn the skills needed to protect themselves and their family.

A Steady Presence in the Storm Every year the Red Cross helps tens of thousands of people affected by disasters in the U.S. In addition to helping the survivors of thousands of home fires each year, the Red Cross is there for people affected by floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires and other events. One of those opportunities is the Cesar E. Chavez Blood Campaign, which engages U.S. Latino college students as campus organizers.

The arrival of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in late summer 2011 called for an enormous Red Cross response that would eventually cover more than a dozen states along the East Coast and into New England. The Red Cross mobilized nearly every emergency response vehicle east of the Rocky Mountains, moved tens of thousands of prepackaged meals into affected areas and deployed disaster workers.

Multiple states were ravaged by wildfires in fiscal year 2011, including Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Montana and Utah. In each case the Red Cross provided shelter, meals and emotional support to residents as they waited for word on the fate of their homes. This in-kind donation will provide delicious snacks to generous blood donors.

Working with partners is critical in large disaster relief operations such as these. During last year’s tropical storms and wildfires, the Red Cross worked with volunteers from partner organizations such as AmeriCorps NCCC, the Southern Baptist Convention, Medical Reserve Corps and the Salvation Army to support sheltering and feeding efforts for thousands of affected residents.

The Red Cross has made a concerted effort to strengthen its partnerships and improve its capacity to respond to disasters. One of the strongest ongoing partnerships at the Red Cross is with W.W. Grainger Inc., which helped develop the Ready When the Time Comes program. Now in its tenth year, the program has trained more than 13,000 employees from 460 businesses and organizations in 52 cities to be Red Cross disaster volunteers. Over the past two years, the number of trained volunteers has doubled and the program has been established in all critical disaster zones across the country.

Caring for Military Families and Veterans For more than 130 years, the Red Cross has provided critical services to service members, veterans and their families. As times have changed, the Red Cross has adapted to meet evolving needs—providing training and workshops, handling emergency communications, and working at military installations and hospitals around the world.

As service members return from deployment, many realize that coming home doesn’t always go as smoothly as expected. To help ease this transition, the Red Cross offers Reconnection Workshops, presented by Walmart. This series of workshops, facilitated by licensed and specially trained Red Cross mental health volunteers, focuses on topics such as communicating clearly; exploring stress and trauma; identifying depression; relating to children; and working through anger.

The Red Cross also provides services for patients in military and VA hospitals. With help from a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, the Red Cross distributed more than 240,000 comfort items last year—including calling cards, small games and snacks—at hospitals and medical facilities for wounded service members, veterans and their families.

Through a new partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project beginning in January 2012, the Red Cross distributed more than 1,200 transitional care packs to injured or ill service members in military hospitals in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Germany and Kuwait.

the public sent in 1.4 million cards for distribution to service members, their families and veterans around the world, bringing holiday cheer to those far from home.

Red Cross Training Saves Lives

AED, water safety and other training by updating courses, providing instruction in new areas and using the latest technology to help the public be prepared for emergencies. The Red Cross is leading the way in using the emerging power of digital technology to get information to people at the right place and time, launching its free First Aid app for iPhone and Android devices in June 2011. The First Aid app gives people instant access to information on handling everyday emergencies, and was met with rave reviews.

Last year, the Red Cross trained more than 250,000 lifeguards and lifeguard managers, protecting swimmers and bathers at pools, waterparks and waterfronts across the nation and on military installations overseas.

updates instruction based on new science, research and best practices. In January 2012, the Red Cross released an updated Lifeguard Program, which features modern graphics, video streaming and other digital options for the student guards. It also provides scenario-based training that emphasizes critical thinking and teamwork—essential skills for every

Saving Lives Every Day Today the Red Cross provides approximately 40 percent of the nation’s blood supply, and must collect around 17,000 donations each day to keep up with demand. Last year, 3.5 million people donated blood to the Red Cross, providing critical blood products to patients in need at nearly 3,000 hospitals.

The Red Cross enjoys the support of young blood donors across the country, many of whom give blood at drives held at college and university campuses. Now, thanks to the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), the Red Cross is able to reach an even greater number of young supporters. CAMP is an educational program that helps students from migrant and seasonal farm-working backgrounds succeed in college by helping them connect with scholarships, internships and service learning opportunities. One of those opportunities is the Cesar E. Chavez Blood Drive Challenge, which engagesLatino college students in the U.S. as campus organizers. In 2011, CAMP held 91 blooddrives with the American Red Cross, resulting in more than 5,900 donations.

Another successful collaboration kicked off in August 2011, when Keebler and the Red Cross announced a partnership that will help spread the word about how good it is to give blood.

Through the “Be a Good Cookie; Get a Good Cookie.” campaign, Keebler will donate 6 million cookies a year for a minimum of two years for Red Cross blood donor centers and blood drives. This in-kind donation will provide delicious snacks to generous blooddonors.

Young donors like this college student are vital to the blood

donor community.

Global Reach, Global Impact

health emergencies touch the lives of millions more. Last year the American Red Cross

and other disasters in 27 countries. In addition, the American Red Cross also worked with Red Cross and Red Crescent partners around the world to build safer, more resilient communities that are better prepared for future disasters.

When widespread drought in the Horn of Africa caused crop failure, water scarcity, low food supplies, death of livestock and the migration of people throughout the region, the American Red Cross contributed $4.2 million to the global Red Cross network’s multi-country response, which provided water, food, health services and other relief supplies.

Cross also responded to Typhoon Washi in the Philippines by supporting the global Red Cross network’s response, which assisted 25,000 people with food, clean drinking water and shelter supplies.

Last year the American Red Cross helped communities in 33 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean better understand the disaster risks they face, develop action plans and identify cost-effective early warning systems to better predict and react to threats.

The American Red Cross also brought measles vaccinations and health education messages to communities around the world. As a founding partner of the Measles Initiative, the American Red Cross has supported the vaccination of more than 1 billion children against measles over the last decade, including more than 146 million last year. Red Cross volunteers played a critical role in measles vaccination campaigns by going door-to-door, reaching even remote communities to encourage mothers to bring their children to be vaccinated.

Around the World

After Typhoon Washti damaged his home, Peter Lacarte received supplies from the Red Cross that helped him repair his house.

2012 at a Glance

• 4.4 million people received disaster assistance from the American Red Cross in coordination with its global Red Cross network partners.

• Red Cross partners and communities in 33 countries were better prepared for future disasters.
