OSCAR Night 2010
Nearly 500 people participated in OSCAR Night 2010 on March 7th as the American Red Cross celebrated the Academy Awards in the Center for Fine and Performing Arts on the campus of Owens Community College. The "red carpet" was rolled out for guests who were greeted by screeming fans and local media "stars" Chrys Peterson and Jerry Anderson.
Over 25 fabulous local restaurants featured their favorite entrees for upscale grazing that was out of this world! Guests danced to live music by Hep Cat Revival and Mojoe Boes & His Noble Jones while they savored delectable desserts and watched the Academy Awards on the big screen.
Many guests also tried their luck on raffles of "Presenter Baskets", with themes ranging from pampering to disaster preparedness. It was an evening filled with friends, fun, dancing, music, glamour, and the best food and drink in town!
The American Red Cross is grateful for our “Red Carpet Sponsor” Columbia Gas of Ohio, and for the host of additional sponsors, participating restaurants and volunteers who helped to make this event a success. Thank you for making OSCAR Night 2010 an evening to remember!

Smoke on the Water - Ribs for the Red Cross
We would like to extend a huge "THANK YOU!" to everyone who helped make this year's Smoke on the Water – Ribs for the Red Cross a great success.
The riverfront location and weather was perfect, which was held July 31-August 2 in Promenade Park in downtown Toledo. The sponsors, volunteers, vendors and entertainers were all top notch, too. It was a perfect combination to provide a fun environment for the whole family.
We would also like to extend our thanks to the many festival goers for supporting this community celebration. Here are a handful of photos from the weekend:

B*A*S*H Held in the CIC Pavilion
Club Red and the Catawba Island Club (CIC) hosted B*A*S*H in the CIC Pavilion on Friday, July 31, to benefit the Ottawa County American Red Cross. B*A*S*H featured a reverse raffle (with a $3,000 grand prize), great sideboards and a gourmet meal. Local personality Greg Peiffer of WPCR - PortClintonRadio.com was the auctioneer for the evening.
This year’s military theme, B*A*S*H, emphasized the services of the American Red Cross to the Armed Forces network which is available at no cost, 24/7 to military families around the world. Over 800,000 messages are sent or received annually through this system.
A world of thanks goes out to the Ottawa County Club Red women’s group and especially Mary Jane Gibson and Linda Snyder (co-chairs of the event) for their help in making the evening a success.
Here's a few photos from the event:
