With the help of partners like Onsharp, State Farm, KFYR-TV in Bismarck, KMOT-TV in Minot and KVLY-TV in Fargo, the Red Cross is able to give-away 90 personal survival kits that include necessary items for an emergency situations such as a radio, water pouch, flashlight, body warmers, blanket, and more. Two winners will be selected each weekday over the duration of the contest.
