Julianne Hough Joins Red Cross

July 30, 2009 — The American Red Cross announced five new additions to its National Celebrity Cabinet, a group of celebrity supporters who promote Red Cross services by donating their time, helping neighbors prepare for emergencies, responding to disasters and lending a helping hand to those in need.

Country singer/dancer/actress Julianne Hough is a new cabinet member, joining fellow celebs Anika Noni Rose, Demi Lovato, Sally Pressman and Amanda Peet.
"I am honored to be a part of the American Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet and help support an organization that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war and aid to victims of devastating natural disasters," says Julianne. "Being part of this amazing organization will provide me with an opportunity to join its efforts to help others and encourage the American public to become involved with their local Red Cross and make a difference."
The announcement of these celebrity supporters closely follows First Lady Michelle Obama's official launch of the United We Serve initiative, a call for nationwide service to begin a sustained, collaborative and focused effort to meet community needs. The initiative spans throughout the summer and will culminate with a National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11. During this time, the Red Cross will promote volunteer opportunities throughout its network of more than 700 chapters to help encourage community service.
Other members and/or pas t members of the Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet include Sara Evans and Rascal Flatts.
