The Humanitarian of the Year award, presented annually by the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus, recognizes local people whose efforts and accomplishments have made our community a better place to live and work. Based on the Fundamental Principles of the World Red Cross Movement—humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, volunteer service, unity and universality—the award finds focus in the first of these principles—humanity.
While recognizing these exemplary volunteers for their humanitarian work, the event also serves as an important source of revenue for our local Red Cross Chapter, grossing more than $2.75 million since its inception in 1997. The funds generated by the luncheon support the life-saving services and programs of the Red Cross in Franklin, Fayette, Madison and Pickaway Counties.
On Tuesday, April 27, 2010, the American Red Cross of Greater Columbus will present the 2010 Humanitarian of the Year Award to Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein. The luncheon, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency will celebrate the Jay and Jeanie's care and compassion for our community.
