Sarah Meier Becomes an SRK Ambassador
Former European figure skating champion Sarah Meier is becoming an official ambassador for the Swiss Red Cross (SRK). The 30-year-old will support SRK projects and represent the long-standing humanitarian organization at events.
«I volunteer for the Red Cross because it allows me to do my small part to help people who aren’t as fortunate as I am,» says Sarah Meier. Meier, who was named Swiss Athlete of the Year in 2011 and, after winning the European Championship title, went on to perform only in shows like «Art on Ice,» has already completed her first assignment for the SRC: She visited village clinics in Bangladesh that the SRC supports with equipment and staff training.
Salome Stäuble, who is responsible for the SRK ambassadors in the SRK Marketing Department: «With Sarah Meier, we’ve been able to make a meaningful addition to our team of SRK ambassadors. Sarah Meier is a truly well-liked figure, and she is deeply committed to sharing some of her good fortune with others through social engagement. We are very pleased that she has decided to get involved with the SRK.»
