Children gather at July 1 event with Blood Drop, an American Red Cross mascot.
Response to a recent blood drive in honor of Gaffney businessman Marion Patton has prompted Red Cross officials to organize another effort.
Shellie Wylie, manager of the Cherokee County Service Center of the Piedmont Chapter of the American Red Cross, said 73 units of blood were collected, and a waiting list of 69 more people was developed.
“Because of the high demand and great outpouring of support in honor of Marion, the Red Cross has decided to have this second Wylie said.
All donors and participants will be given ice cream sandwiches and popsicles provided by Wishes Family Travel, a Red Cross T-shirt and the opportunity to leave an encouraging message for the Patton family.
