2008 TETNA Blood Drive

Saturday, Oct. 49am-2pmRoosevelt Elementary

“I want to give back to the community” is the reason many of us choose to donate blood. Or perhaps you know someone who has received help from Blood Center of Wisconsin. Jennifer Aldrich is someone who has said both things.Jennifer’s son, Jakob, was diagnosed in November of 2005 with a rare form of soft tissue childhood cancer. He underwent treatment (including receiving blood products) at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin through September of 2006. Jakob had a relapse in January of 2007, and received treatment a second time.TETNA has decided to focus our efforts on helping to make Jennifer’s biannual blood drives at Roosevelt Elementary a success. Those of you that expressed interest in volunteering and/or participating will receive a call in the near future.The fall blood is drive is scheduled for Saturday, October 4th from 9am-2pm at Roosevelt Elementary. Please call the Blood Center at 933-5000 to make an appointment (recommended), or just walk in using the 74th Street entrance. Child care and homemade treats will be provided.Let’s make this blood drive a success—give back to the community and support “one of our own!”
