Visit redcrossracing.com

WASHINGTON,June 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- 3M Company and NASCAR Sprint Cup
driver Greg Biffle are helping communities recently devastated by severe
weather in the Midwest. For the next four NASCAR Sprint Cup races, the Red
Cross logo and toll-free number, 1-800-RED-CROSS, will be displayed on the TV
panel of the #16 3M Ford Fusion. 3M has also donated approximately 25,000
units of hand sanitizer, insect repellant and cleaning products to be
distributed throughout Iowa and Wisconsin.

The on-track visibility will remind racing fans in Sonoma, New Hampshire,
Daytona and Chicago to support American Red Cross disaster relief efforts.
"The American Red Cross greatly appreciates the support of 3M and Greg
Biffle," said Chris Hrouda, Executive Vice President of Biomedical Services
for the American Red Cross. "Their generous donation and continued enthusiasm
for highlighting the importance of both blood donation and disaster relief
throughout this racing season is extraordinary."

The Red Cross will be present at the New Hampshire and Chicago races with an
exhibit featuring Red Cross Racing. This program, launched in Talladega on
April 24, encourages loyal NASCAR fans to become dedicated Red Cross blood
donors. This program is off to a strong start as nearly 6,600 race fans have
registered and reported nearly 1,500 blood donations, including one from Greg
Biffle himself. Biffle is also a member of the Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet.

Severe weather has not only forced evacuations for many community members, but
has also disrupted scheduled blood drives, tightening the supply of blood in
the affected areas. Eligible donors are encouraged to visit
redcrossracing.com to schedule a blood donation appointment in the days and
weeks ahead to ensure an adequate supply of blood is available when needed.

The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund has been largely depleted, yet the
Red Cross anticipates spending millions as it moves forward with relief
efforts for the victims of flooding and tornadoes across seven states, an
enormous geographic area. From Kansas to West Virginia, the Red Cross is
providing vast amounts of clean-up supplies, dozens of shelter locations and
tens of thousands of meals. The Disaster Relief Fund allows the Red Cross to
provide immediate emergency assistance to the victims of disasters such as
house fires or severe storms.
