What I like about working with the Red Cross is that you are always very accessible and available. We know we can get an interview and get a spokesperson or expert on the air right away."

"It's very easy to work with the people at Red Cross. You are always so cooperative and let us know if something is happening before we call. You also let us know what will be visual about the story which is very important."

"We appreciate that Red Cross has bilingual people available for interviews, and that you have people available to interview right away. It is also very helpful that you get back to us so promptly."

We work with the same reporters so often that we learn to know them by name and have a great rapport with them! We also make sure to acknowledge them with awards and presentations to let them know their coverage is appreciated. For instance, we honored one local reporter with our NBC affiliate with a good neighbor award and presented it to her at our Volunteer Recognition Awards Dinner.

When we had major flooding in 1998, we had a thank you luncheon for donors and invited members of our ABC affiliate to be recognized for their support in coverage.

We value the timely information the Red Cross provides during disasters and family fires, helping us to get the word out about relief quickly and accurately. The Red Cross is a great source of information!

As a weathercaster, partnering with the Red Cross is a natural fit. During a weather disaster, I can go ahead and pitch Red Cross disaster safety information - it’s a great cross-promotion.

NBC 10 Philadelphia has developed a strong relationship with Red Cross chapters in the Delaware Valley.

Throughout the year, NBC 10 sponsors "Holiday Hero Blood Drives" and using the power of television broadcasting to get the word out around holiday weekends and during shortages.

Thanks to a nomination from the Red Cross, last year, NBC 10 received an award from the American Association of Blood Banks. The award recognized the station's Holiday Hero Blood Drive commitment.

NBC 10 has also partnered with the Red Cross to support local victims of fire and flood tragedies. This year, NBC 10 set up a donation phone line and helped collect thousands of dollars for local fire victims.

Each year, NBC 10 invites the American Red Cross to collect blood donations at Fit Fest, the area's largest free health and fitness expo at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

NBC 10 is very proud of our relationship with The American Red Cross.
