She would be in middle school. She would most likely be into boys. She would be squabbling with her siblings at home and meeting friends at the movies. There is no question Isabella’s life was cut too short, but there is also no question that her legacy is creating hope for so many.  Lots going on in March with many ways for you to get involved and help make an impact. We hope you will donate blood, attend one of the events below, eat lots of Jersey Mike’s subs or reach out to talk about how your business can get involved.

Our relationship with the Community Blood Center (which will be changing their name to “One Blood”, but same community mission and same team) is stronger than ever.  One of the big things I’m working on this year is defining the meaning of PARTNERSHIP.  I saw a quote once that has just stuck with me…

“If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together.”
