MADISON, Wis- The Madison Police and Fire Departments teamed up with the American Red Cross for the 11th Annual 9/11 Memorial Blood Drive.
At Fire Station 14 on Dairy Drive Saturday morning, organizers celebrated the achievement of reaching 1,000 donors throughout the history of this program.
They say donating blood is one of the best ways you can honor those who gave their lives on 9/11.
“All you have to do is roll up your sleeves and your blood is literally saving lives,” said MPD P.O. Hunter Lisko. “And so, we think that that really honors the legacy of the first responders who responded on September 11, 2001, it honors the sacrifice that all Americans have made since that day.”
This year’s event brought in a total of 136 donations.
