Our goal was 19 units and we collected 24 unitsAmazing and just WOW!!!, these were much needed units and it is potentially 32+lives impacted (Phenomenal!!! - Hero's!),  so the ultimate goal of saving lives was absolutely achieved!  You had 8 first time donors!!!  These units are so needed as we navigate our way through these challenging times.
 
I was so excited and pleased with your efforts.  Thank you so very much for committing to being a sponsor for our blood drives.  We cannot save lives without you, so thank you!  We are looking forward to your next drive on Tuesday, August 1, thank you for being a summer time hero!  Colin will be in touch as we get closer to the date...
