From alum Melissa Hopkins '04:
We have started a new and exclusive initiative for young professionals at the American Red Cross Serving King & Kitsap Counties. It is called Professionals in Action (PiA) and it strives to cultivate tomorrow’s leaders by leveraging the energy and enthusiasm of young professionals (ages 24 – 40) in the greater Seattle area.
It provides members with creative and flexible opportunities to have an impact on their world while providing personal and professional growth through networking in the community with others who are near their first decade of their career and also share a passion for community involvement.
PiA is giving $100 in start-up money for teams of young professionals to hold an auction, throw a dinner party, run a race or fundraise in the best way you know how. The campaign is called Up the Ante, and the teams that raise the most money can win awesome prizes like a vacation through Doug Fox Travel & Cruise, a brand new Dolphin E sea kayak or two airline tickets to wherever Alaska Airlines flies…and much more! We’re looking for the types of young professionals who have the capacity to turn their $100 start up funds into $500 or even $1,000. This campaign runs between May 1 and May 31.
This is an easy way to make a difference! Attached are the invitation and more event specific information. If you’re interested or want more info to bring this idea to a group for consideration, please email or give me a call.
I thank you for your time and look forward to your response. Make it a great day.
Regards,
Melissa Hopkins
