Lassiter also recently teamed with Menchies for additional blood drives in honor of the Aschenbach and Heitzman families.
For each donor who gave blood, a “Thinking of You” card will be delivered to both families. The Lassiter community collected a total of 62 pints of blood. One pint of blood can save up to three lives, so Trojan Nation potentially saved up to 186 lives.
