Blood Drive - April 20, 2024
What better way to serve our community than to partner with the American Red Cross and host our First Blood Drive. On April 20th we got together to save lives. Our goal was set to 20 pints and we surpassed by obtaining 25 pints. We hosted a free Barbecue with hamburgers, hot dogs, fresh fruit and a grand Luau. Everyone who volunteered and donated blood received a Hawaiian Lei, fresh fruit and amazing upside down pineapple cupcakes. My amazing recruits outdid themselves decorating. Special "Thanks" to Joanna Figueroa, Jessica Apablaza, Margie Santiago, Charlene Tirado, Yessenia Canuto, Fermin Canuto, Alexis Soto, Fernanda Canuto and Pastor David Soto who helped set-up, volunteered during the event and helped with all the clean-up. A special thanks to Shilpa who helped with registration and the amazing staff from the American Red Cross. Most importantly, I want to thank all the donors who gave blood, my family, friends and community. You are the best people on earth!
