Grounded in Tradition, Changing the Future
The Red Cross Tiffany Circle provides a forum for women leaders to join together and make an impact on their communities and the nation. The Tiffany Circle is a society of women leaders and philanthropists who invest $10,000 annually in their local American Red Cross chapter. These women follow in the footsteps of a long lineage of women leaders, beginning with founder Clara Barton, who have helped the Red Cross serve the American public in times of war and peace with disaster assistance, safety training, and other community services. "The Red Cross and America have always been led by women of humanitarian action and great compassion," says Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, Chairman of the American Red Cross. "Women enjoy a long history of joining hands to make their communities stronger. Through the Tiffany Circle, we renew our commitment and our pledge to the mothers, daughters and sisters across this great country as we reach out to those most in need." The name Tiffany and the $10,000 amount have historical precedent. The society is named for the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governors Hall at Red Cross national headquarters in Washington, D.C. Red Cross President Mabel Boardman commissioned these windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, in 1917. As an act of reconciliation and hope, they were paid for with a $5,000 gift from the Women’s Relief Corps of the North and $5,000 from the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South. The women in these windows personify virtues at work in the Red Cross Movement: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues by ensuring the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to life’s emergencies.    Are You in the Circle? Step in and take the lead today!
