WELCOME Dear Friends, On behalf of the American Red Cross Greater New York Region, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our virtual Heroes for Humanity event, an occasion to celebrate and honor everyday heroes and civic leaders. While I wish we could all be together in person, this online experience is a unique opportunity to celebrate our universal mission of hope and compassion. This has been such a remarkable and challenging year for each of us and for our communities. From disaster relief and Service to the Armed Forces to blood collection and International Services, every Red Cross program has needed to adapt and innovate to continue to deliver our lifesaving mission. Though the work of the American Red Cross may look a bit different today, our teams are doing everything we can to keep people safe and healthy during this pandemic. I want to congratulate tonight’s honorees and thank them for their humanitarian spirit and commitment to service: NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE CAROLINA HERRERA GOLD STAR FAMILY 2021 Corporate Leadership Honoree 2021 Humanitarian Honoree Michael J.
