I personally attended in January of 2020 and thought it was an excellent program. Our attendees from last year were Rachel Torres, Gina Cliburn and Shaun Franks. If you want to hear more about the program, check out the website above or reach out to one of the folks above for their impressions of the most recent event.
Please let me know if you have an interest in attending. We believe we have room in the budget to accommodate four to five attendees and it would be GREAT if you were one of them.

If you have never donated blood before, the actual collection process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. Please join our lifesaving mission and schedule an appointment today!
Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program!
