Dennis T. Wang is the Co-Founder and Chief Principal Officer of Alexander Wang, Inc., a fashion company headquartered in New York City. Outside of his professional activities, Dennis T. Wang spends time contributing to charities and volunteering with the American Red Cross.

As an independent, not-for-profit, international humanitarian organization, the American Red Cross relies heavily on help from donors and volunteers. The first step to becoming a Red Cross volunteer begins online at www.redcross.org, where interested individuals can familiarize themselves with the organization and the different kinds of work volunteers perform.

Red Cross volunteers can work in areas such as biomedical services, disaster services, services to the military, and health and safety preparedness services. The American Red Cross website features an in-depth orientation course that individuals take at their desired pace, after which they can contact the organization with a better idea of how they might help.

Those who want to contribute more than money but do not have the time to engage in volunteer work can use the Red Cross website to find local blood drives. For qualified candidates, donating blood is one of the simplest ways of supporting the Red Cross and its efforts all over the world.
