917th Wing Airmen support community needs
Airmen from the 917th Wing wait their turn to donate blood outside a LifeShare Blood Centers’ donor bus during the 917th Wing Blood Drive in the course of the Unit Training Assembly weekend at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., June 5, 2010. The mission of Life Blood Centers is to provide quality blood, blood components and related services for use by patients on an efficient cost effective basis. According to Gwen Herndon from LifeShare, 18 units were donated by 917th Airmen, and that was three more than the projected goal of fifteen. The 917th Wing takes pride in supporting the community in which they serve by donating blood. The next 917th Wing Blood Drive is scheduled for Saturday, August 7, 2010, from during the August UTA. Together, we save lives! For information about donating blood to assist your community or family, contact: www.lifesharedonorclub.org or www.lifeshare.org.
