The ConnectLife blood drive at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital will take place from 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 24. We are supporting Bella's Brigade this year in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Isabella “Bella” was the young daughter of Jamie Phelan, a VNA employee, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2016 and fought her cancer battle for 5 years. During the course of her battle, she endured two bone marrow transplants as well as multiple treatments of chemotherapies, immunotherapies and radiation.
Blood products (whole blood, platelets, plasma) were a life-saving necessity that she, and children like her, require countless transfusions of to keep their bodies fully functioning while receiving treatment. Your blood donation will help carry on Bella’s legacy, helping children and others undergoing treatments. If you are able, please consider donating.
Walk-ins are welcome! All presenting donors will receive a cafeteria voucher, a Bills phone wallet and a chance to win tickets for a Buffalo Bills home game!
