Red Cross Launches New Fundraiser!

Paint the Town Red is a 6 week social fundraising effort to raise $50,000 to support the Savannah Red Cross. Cecilia Russo, Russo Marketing developed the concept for the Red Cross. "This is the Savannah Red Cross' first venture into social marketing," said Russo. "Savannah is a very social town to begin with, so we will be holding events at area eateries. But we will also have a social networking component through Facebook. You can find specific events through our page on Facebook. We hope to see you at an event soon!"

Russo has recruited co-chairs and team leaders who recruit teams to compete with each other to raise the most money for the Red Cross. This year's co-chairs are:

Holden Hayes	President, The Savannah Bank
Meghan Murphy	Asst. VP Wachovia Insurance Services

The Team Leaders are:

Mark Bandy	Weinstock & Scavo
Otis Brock, III	Board of Education
Jason Buelterman	Mayor, Tybee Island
Heather Gordon	Savannah Quarters
Matthew Schivera	J.T. Turner Construction
