On October 1, Pierce College held an extremely successful blood drive, one of the largest ever at Pierce College. With a goal of 30, there were 46 donors registered. The blood drive was sponsored by the Student Activities group and coordinated by Erin O’Shaughnessy. The great amount of work they put into the preparation was apparent by the results.
Pierce College allows Cascade Regional Blood Services (CRBS) to park the bloodmobile directly in front of the college center. This location is great for visibility and creates a tremendous amount of buzz for the blood drive.
Pierce College, home of the Raiders, conducts blood drives every 56 days during the school year. As a result of the great success at this drive, the hours and goal of the next drive have been increased.
CRBS would like to thank the students and staff at Pierce College for their continued support. This support enables us to maintain an adequate blood supply to Good Samaritan and our other community hospitals. We are anxiously looking forward to the next blood drive at Pierce College and another great turn-out.
Pierce College in Lakewood stepped up and duplicated the great results that Pierce College Puyallup had a couple of weeks earlier. Andrea Ehlis was the drive coordinator and did a great job of encouraging students and faculty to donate during this drive.
The college sponsored a two day drive and exceeded their goal of 25 donors on both days. The first day they registered 29 donors and the second they registered another 26. The totals units collected during this drive are the largest number collected in several years.
Thanks to Andrea and everyone at Pierce College for their efforts and the great results. The support for Cascade Regional Blood Services and our community blood supply is always needed and appreciated. The units collected at their drive will directly help patients in need at our area community hospitals.
