WILMINGTON — The Ahresty Blood Donor Team members are passionate about their blood drive events held throughout the year at their facilities.
In 2017, they held five blood drives with an average of 33 donors per drive. They were the recipient for the Platinum Award, which they have received for several years in a row. The Platinum Award is for meeting 100 percent or greater blood drive efficiency.
Members of the team always encourage others to donate for a good cause; every pint of blood will save three lives.
