BNY Mellon Wealth Management Recognized for $50,000 Contribution to
the American Red Cross Tiffany Circle

Pledge of Ongoing Support Enables the Red Cross to Continue Service to
Central and South Florida

MIAMI, February X, 2018 — The American Red Cross today recognized BNY Mellon Wealth Management for their continued support of the Red Cross Tiffany Circle of South and Central Florida through their third annual donation of $50,000.

The Tiffany Circle is a community of women leaders who advance the American Red Cross mission by investing $10,000 annually in their local American Red Cross chapters. These women follow in the footsteps of a long line of dedicated women who have helped the Red Cross serve the American public in times of war and peace with disaster assistance, blood collection, safety training and countless other services.

 The name Tiffany and the $10,000 amount have historical precedence. The society is named for the beautiful Tiffany windows in the Board of Governors Hall at the Red Cross’ national headquarters in Washington, D.C. Produced by Tiffany Studios, these windows were commissioned in 1917 by Red Cross President Mabel Boardman. As an act of reconciliation and hope, they were paid for with a $5,000 gift from the Women’s Relief Corps of the North and $5,000 from the United Daughters of the Confederacy of the South.

The women portrayed in these windows personify virtues at work in the Red Cross Movement: hope, mercy, faith, charity, truth and fortitude. Members of the Tiffany Circle provide living examples of these virtues in their local communities by ensuring the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to life’s emergencies.

“The American Red Cross relies on the generosity of our volunteers, donors and partners to fulfill our lifesaving mission,” said Joanne Nowlin, regional executive for the American Red Cross South Florida Region. “Thanks to the support of BYN Mellon Wealth Management, South and Central Florida is able to continue its decades long development of the Tiffany Circle.”

“We are pleased to partner with the American Red Cross in an effort to help those affected by disaster. We hope this donation will help alleviate human suffering in the face of an emergency and are grateful for everything that this organization does, said Lisa Simington, President of Florida West Region at BNY Mellon Wealth Management.”

Since 2016, BNY Mellon has provided $150,000 to the Red Cross’ Tiffany Circle.
