The Red Cross conquers Zurich swimming pools with water balls

The Swiss Red Cross (SRK) in the Canton of Zurich is launching a «fresh» initiative to accompany this year’s campaign. In July and August, volunteers from the relief organization will be handing out a total of 10,000 Red Cross beach balls to swimmers at several outdoor pools in the Canton of Zurich.

In this way, the Zurich Red Cross is drawing attention to its diverse humanitarian work. As of today, SRC brand ambassadors on billboards throughout the canton of Zurich are calling on people to support the cantonal relief organization with donations or volunteer work. Sarah Meier is one of them.

Anyone and everyone can help. "There's a helper in everyone in Zurich" is also the motto of the Zurich Red Cross campaign, which is being launched these days. The campaign draws attention to its diverse humanitarian work throughout the canton of Zurich, as the SRC writes in a press release on Presseportal.ch. The SRC is also using the campaign to attract donations and volunteers.

Volunteers will also be distributing a total of 10,000 Red Cross beach balls at various outdoor swimming pools in the canton of Zurich over the coming weeks. The "Badi-Aktion" will be carried out together with the Swiss Lifesaving Association (SLRG). The SLRG is also a member of the SRC.

At the same time, starting today, Tuesday, 15 Zurich residents who actively support the Zurich Red Cross are calling on the public to take part in a poster campaign. Sarah Meier, former European figure skating champion and 2011 Sportswoman of the Year, is supporting the campaign as SRC brand ambassador.
