Helping to Keep Families Safe FROM HOME FIRES

Since 1992, the American Red Cross and the Cleveland Fire Department have been installing smoke alarms in homes throughout the city, making homes safer and saving lives. The smoke alarm initiative began 30 years ago thanks to the generosity and passion of the late Sam Miller, a past CJN Lifetime Achievement Award winner. And now, thanks to the generosity of many supporters, the lifesaving work of the Red Cross continues. ecause of a newly announced matching grant of $500,000 from the Sam J. Frankino Foundation, the Red Cross will continue to prepare communities for disasters like home fires, and will respond to these disasters, helping people through their darkest hours.
