American Red Cross Northeast Georgia selects FormFree as Corporate Blood Sponsor of the Year

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® has been recognized as the Corporate Blood Sponsor of the Year for the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps feed, shelter and provide support for people affected by fires and other disasters.

FormFree was named Corporate Blood Sponsor of the Year for providing mission-critical support and dedication to the Red Cross' efforts in the Northeast Georgia community. The Red Cross officially recognized 2021 volunteers and community partners who are saving lives and enriching the Red Cross' mission in the region at a virtual event on August 5.

The American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia provides direct service to 23 Georgia counties by supporting the collection, testing and distribution of blood and blood components in the region, providing emergency resources for military families, facilitating lifesaving training in first aid, CPR and use of AED and helping people and communities impacted by disasters.

"Our hats off to FormFree for their unwavering support of our mission," said Marlon Trone, executive director of the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia. "We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to continuing to support Northeast Georgia's communities together."

FormFree's commitment to the American Red Cross stems back to the company's founding in 2008, when the company began supporting the nonprofit through participation in blood drives, food drives and fundraisers. In 2017, FormFree CEO Brent Chandler joined the board of directors of the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia. Currently FormFree Director of Marketing Sarah Crossley and Account Manager Laura Graben are co-chairs of the chapter's Young Professionals Advisory Board. Last year, FormFree helped raise nearly $30,000 for the charity as the host of October's Heroes Golf Classic tournament. The company plans to host the event again this fall.

"Giving back is a core value at FormFree. It's an honor to shine a light on a cause we care deeply about and that has a significant, positive impact on our immediate community," said Chandler. "In today's times, it is more important than ever to lend a helping hand."

FormFree Expands Partnership with American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia in Celebration of 2020 Red Cross Month

ATHENS, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- FormFree® today announced it is celebrating Red Cross Month by expanding its long-held partnership with the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia. FormFree will support the Northeast Georgia chapter's mission of alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies by giving fiscal contributions and engaging in monthly acts of service throughout 2020.

In April, FormFree will kick off its expanded partnership by donating life-saving blood to help hospitals maintain a continuous supply during the novel coronavirus pandemic. According to a recent statement released by the Red Cross, which collects 40 percent of the U.S. blood supply, more than 12,000 blood drives have been canceled across the country as of March 30, leading to an estimated 325,000 fewer blood donations. The resulting blood supply shortage could affect the ability of victims of physical trauma, surgery patients and cancer patients to get the care they need.

"The Red Cross' mission of alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies resonates powerfully with FormFree's culture of empathy, service and generosity," said FormFree Founder and CEO Brent Chandler. "Although we've long been a partner of the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia, in today's uncertain environment we feel especially compelled to give back to this vital institution supporting our community."

Chartered in 1917, the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia provides direct service to 23 Georgia counties by supporting the collection, testing and distribution of blood and blood components in the region, providing emergency resources for military families, facilitating lifesaving training in first aid, CPR and use an AED and helping people and communities impacted by disasters. Red Cross Month is a nationwide tradition begun by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1943.

"FormFree shares our passion for serving our nation's veterans and communities in need," said Marlon Trone, executive director of the American Red Cross of Northeast Georgia. "We thank them for their continual generosity and look forward to working alongside them for the betterment of our community for years to come."

FormFree has participated in numerous community awareness and service events hosted with the Red Cross of Northeast Georgia since the company's founding in 2008. Brent Chandler joined the Red Cross of Northeast Georgia's board of directors in 2017.
