Young Professionals Organize a Blood Drive
"We skyrocketed past our original goal of 20 units and collected 32 pints of blood. When divided into 3 separate blood components we have the potential to help up to 96 patients! It was great to have 5 first-time donors as well. The staff said the day went extremely well and your volunteers were fantastic!"
