The afternoon of Sunday, February 4th offers you a chance to help your community AND the Garden! Did you know that only 3% of eligible blood donors donate regularly? Every 2 seconds someone in the US needs blood – accident and burn victims, life-saving heart and transplant surgeries and those battling cancer to name a few.

Yagya Kasera, an aspiring Eagle Scout with BSA Troop 320, Fuquay Varina, NC, is coordinating with the The Blood Connection to help with the blood shortage and raise funds for a project at our Garden. He will be building a split rail fence along the ditch at the front of the garden so no one accidently drives into the ditch when parking or backing out. At a charity blood drive like this, some of the rewards go to the donor and some go to the charity. This event will allow Yagya to raise $25 per blood donation to help fund this Eagle Scout project.

Please consider donating blood if you are eligible and share this event with your neighbors, family and friends. Let’s fill up the schedule and save three lives with every donation! Click on the link below to schedule:
