DANIA BEACH, FL — During and following the 2005 hurricane season, the American Red Cross acted as the lead agency ensuring the victims received the organization’s much needed services. Since Oct. 24, 2005, when Hurricane Wilma hit South Florida, American Red Cross chapters provided shelter, counseling and meals to thousands of South Floridians.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida recognizes the tremendous effort of the thousands of volunteers and staff of the Red Cross and their invaluable help and assistance. The Tribe has been on of the sponsors of the funding activities that the Red Cross has sponsored.

On Dec. 2, 2005, the Seminole Tribe of Florida made a donation to the Broward Chapter during the “Taste of the Season” fundraising event held at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum.

On Dec. 31, 2005, the Tribe was also a sponsor at the New Year’s Gala Event hosted by the Naples Red Cross.
