Smiddy, Old Republic's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We're proud that our partnership helps the Red Cross strengthen its preparedness efforts and contribute to its quick, effective disaster response."

"As we see increasingly frequent extreme weather events, more families are turning to the Red Cross for help during their most difficult moments," said Anne McKeough, chief development officer at the American Red Cross. "We greatly appreciate Disaster Responder members like Old Republic, whose proactive and compassionate support strengthens our readiness and response efforts — so we can deliver help, care and hope without delay when people need it most."

Old Republic looks forward to growing this partnership with the Red Cross through the Disaster Responder Program, helping individuals, families, and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
