American Red Cross reunited with lost funds

State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald was pleased to present a check for several thousand dollars from the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt to the Central Iowa Region American Red Cross on June 6.

"The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt is proud to reunite the American Red Cross $12,300 in lost funds," Fitzgerald said. "This past winter and spring, we have seen one disaster after another across Iowa. The American Red Cross has been there to help Iowans along the way. I encourage everyone to search our list at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov for organizations in their community."

The American Red Cross relies on volunteers and the generosity of donors. On behalf of the American Red Cross, Regional Chief Development Officer, Neal Bohnet, and Regional Communications Officer, Caslon Hatch, were present to receive the check.

"The Red Cross, through its strong network of volunteers, donors and partners, is always there in time of need," Bohnet said. "From a donor's standpoint, we make sure their generous gift goes towards the Red Cross mission. We thank the treasurer's office for the opportunity to collect those lost donations, so those dollars can go back to the people we serve during a disaster."
