Every Drop Stays Here. Save Local Lives.
As our fundraising season moves full steam ahead with our Coffee for a Cure events scheduled at the end of March, we want to introduce you to some amazing companies that have decided to partner with us for the 2017 year as a Sustaining Sponsor.
Community Blood Center of the Carolinas
, CBCC, has been near and dear to our hearts since Isabella received numerous blood and platelet transfusions to help her stay strong and fight neuroblastoma. Since Isabella passed, CBCC has sponsored our 5K/10K & 1 mile fun run for Kids Cancer every year in honor of Isabella. And because CBCC helped sustain Isabella’s life while she was fighting, we host our annual Blood Drive every year on Isabella’s birthday (March 9th). We absolutely love this partnership we have with our local blood center. This year, CBCC is taking their support a step further by becoming a 2017 Sustaining Sponsor. We couldn’t be more thrilled.
Isabella and her daddy, CBCC Blood Drive, 2012
Many people may not know, but cancer patients are the #1 recipients of blood products. Sharing Isabella’s story allowed CBCC to show people first-hand the importance of donating blood and hosting blood drives in our community. Although Isabella lost her life to neuroblastoma, she would have never survived as long as she did without CBCC and the blood products she received.
You can help! Join CBCC to save local lives by donating blood or platelets, or by organizing a blood drive at your workplace, organization or house of worship.
Remember: Every drop stays here. Saving local lives.
