Tennyson General Baptist Church Hosts Fundraiser

Tennyson, IN – The Brotherhood of Tennyson General Baptist Church presented the Warrick County Red Cross with a $2,530.00 check this month. The Warrick County Red Cross plans to use the funds to help them reach their capital campaign goal for renovations on their recently donated facility in Boonville, IN.

The brotherhood raised the money by hosting a BBQ. Their mission began several years ago with the first BBQ for Bakers Chapel after the tornado. Every since they have been helping local organizations and groups reach their goals by grilling for the cause. Ron Forston spends most of his weekends during the warmer months organizing these events throughout the community. Ron stated that barbequing was one way the Brotherhood could give back to the community and they all enjoy helping.

The American Red Cross helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Last year, almost a million volunteers and 35,000 employees helped victims of almost 75,000 disasters; taught lifesaving skills to millions; and helped U.S. service members separated from their families stay connected. Almost 4 million people gave blood through the Red Cross, the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. The American Red Cross is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work.
