CCE Blood Drive – Honoring Micah and Oli
Vitalant and our CCE Blood Drive coordinators set a goal of 21 lifesaving pints of blood, “… and together we collected 28 pints! So, if every pint of blood has the potential to save up to three lives, that means that up to 84 lives can be impacted because of your efforts.” ¡Sí se puede!
