This popular event is a major fundraiser for the American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula, which has been providing disaster relief and emergency services – free of charge – to families on the eastern shore of Maryland and in Delaware for more than 100 years, since 1905. Proceeds will be used to provide immediate emergency assistance – food, shelter, clothing and other basic needs – to local families left temporarily homeless after disasters such as fires and floods. Since the beginning of this fiscal year (June 2005), the American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula has assisted 47 families, comprising 123 people, who suffered disasters in the eastern shore Maryland counties of Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne’s and Talbot.
