Governor John Hickenlooper has proclaimed March “Red Cross Month.” In honor of Red Cross Month, the Rapids will donate $5 to the Red Cross for every ticket purchased in a special Red Cross Supporters Section at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park during the Rapids’ match on March 19.

PURCHASE: CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS THAT SUPPORT THE RED CROSS EFFORTS.

Kroenke Sports Charities will also be collecting donations throughout the match to assist the American Red Cross’s disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. Fans can also contribute by visiting Redcross.org or texting REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 from a phone to support American Red Cross emergency and disaster relief efforts. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.

In addition to donating a portion of ticket sales to the Red Cross, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park is also hosting the Red Cross as it presents “Gabrielle Giffords Honorary Save-a-Life Saturday” on March 19.  From 11 a.m.-2 p.m., the Red Cross will offer free, 45-minute trainings with instruction in hands-only CPR, controlling external bleeding and managing shock.

Anyone can sign up for the free classes at www.ColoradoRedCross.org/savealife.

Red Cross chapters are offering classes at more than 100 locations across the country on March 19 to honor Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and all those involved in the Tucson tragedy.  During that event, several bystanders knew and employed CPR and First Aid skills, which helped save the lives of many victims, including Congresswoman Giffords.

After some difficulty trying to contact his parents and brothers in Japan, he communicated with his older brother via instant messenger to learn that his family was ok.

We caught up with Kosuke today before the team departed for Vancouver for Saturday’s final preseason game against the Whitecaps.

In the interview, Kosuke talks about he found out about the earthquake, how his family is doing, his reactions to the tragedy, and message to those affected.
