When you include the American Red Cross in your will or gift planning, you become a distinguished member of The Legacy Society of the American Red Cross. Members receive a special lapel pin as well as a certificate of appreciation. Periodically, you will receive important updates on estate planning and tax information.
This is just one of the many ways you could make a planned gift to support the Southeast Minnesota Chapter. For more information about this or other planned gift vehicles, please call Melanie Tschida at (507) 287-2254 or email her at
