The Tiffany Circle is a society of women leaders and philanthropists
who, by investing $10,000 annually in their local American Red
Cross chapter, are following in the footsteps of a long line of
women leaders who have helped the Red Cross serve the American
public through times of war and peace with disaster assistance,
blood collection, safety training, and countless other community
assistance services. The name Tiffany and the $10,000 amount have
historical precedent in the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board
of Governors Hall in the Red Cross national headquarters in Washington,
D.C.
These
windows, produced by the Tiffany Studios, were commissioned
by Red Cross President Mabel Boardman in 1917. As an act of
reconciliation and hope, they were paid for with a $5,000 gift
by the Women’s Relief Corps of the North and $5,000 by
the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South. The symbols
in these windows represent virtues of the Red Cross movement:
hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of
the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues
in their local communities, by ensuring that the Red Cross has
the ability to help people prevent, prepared for and respond
to life’s emergencies.
The
Tiffany Circle of the American Red Cross creates a powerful
leadership network of women who want to change lives, save lives
and strengthen their communities through a focused investment
of their Time, Talent and Treasure.
