Tuesday’s Versiti Blood Drive Was a Great Success; 30 units of blood will help up to 90 patients

World Blood Donor Day!

Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin’s goal for the drive at the Old Armory on Tuesday, April 14 was to collect 28 units of blood, and that goal was surpassed with 33 registered donors and 30 successful units of blood. Thirteen people were first-time donors with Versiti.

The blood center staff was very pleased that the Armory gym provided very sufficient space for physical distancing. They have already scheduled to return on June 15 and August 18.

A big thanks to the City of Whitewater, particularly to Eric Boettcher, Parks & Recreation Director, and his staff for making the arrangements. Appreciation is also expressed to everyone who attempted to donate, whether successful or not.
