Vote for Red Cross with Target’s Bullseye Gives Campaign


If you’ve ever wanted to play the philanthropist, now is your chance!

From now through May 25, Target is giving you the power to decide where a $3 million charitable donation will go. The American Red Cross is one of ten non-profit organizations competing for a portion of the multi-million dollar gift.

Target’s Bullseye Gives campaign is running through Facebook, where visitors can vote once a day, every day, for the charity of their choice.

At the end of the contest, the percentage of votes each organization tallies will represent their portion of the $3 million. Final results will be announced May 26.

Any donation that the Red Cross receives from Bullseye Gives will go toward supporting the humanitarian work of the Red Cross: sheltering, feeding and counseling victims of disasters; providing nearly half of the nation's blood supply; teaching lifesaving skills; and supporting military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its humanitarian mission.

Vote for the Red Cross and spread the word to your friends and family!
