February 2023 Blood Drive and Basket Raffle a huge success! 〰️

The Buffalo Community came together again to show their support at the February 25th Alison Rose Foundation Blood Drive held at D’Youville College. Connect Life had all hands on deck to handle those who came to give “the gift of life.” 95 units of blood were collected despite the ice and chilly weather. All blood donors received a voucher for two tickets to an upcoming Buffalo Bandits home game.

But blood wasn’t the only thing collected as a basket raffle and 50/50 drawing were also held raising just over $5000 for the Foundation.

A big thank you to everyone who braved the elements on Saturday to support this event - blood donors and raffle participants, and all those who worked behind the scenes ahead of time and during the event - staff and security at D’Youville, Connect Life staff and volunteers, ARF board members and volunteers, basket raffle donors, table volunteers - This could not have been so successful without your help!

Next year’s winter blood drive is already in the planning stages!!!
