Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

The Blood Drive could NOT have gone any better! We want to thank everyone for their volunteer work, donating & to thank you to EnSite for hosting & accommodating the chaos! We had 47 people showing to donate, which resulted in 38 pints. Most amazing is that we had 19 first-time donors!


The Red Cross was grateful & impressed with how smooth everything went - from recruiting, to set-up, to all the donors being on time & ready to donate. They called the morning of to ask for any advice on how to get donors (we filled our spots in less than 3 weeks - they couldn't believe it!) And they called afterwards to ask if Giving Back would be willing to do this twice a year!


So again, thank you! The inspiration for this was my amazing aunt Kim & the battle she had fought for the last 3 years with that ugly disease cancer. It was an amazing show of support for her & all our other family & friends that rely on these donations.
