Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center |
| Purpose: |
To help save lives, Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center relies on individuals from diverse backgrounds to Commit for Life and make life-saving donations. The Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting understands this need and encourages more Hispanics to join them at their blood drive on Saturday, Feb. 28.
Many Hispanics have become regular blood donors; however, there are still more Hispanic patients needing blood than there are Hispanics donating. The members of ALPFA and the Hispanic community they serve have the ability to change this and save lives.
|
| Notes: |
Every individual who donates will receive a brief health screening where they will have their blood pressure, iron and cholesterol levels checked as part of the donation process. |

For nearly 70 years, every February the nation’s fourth largest city is transformed from a bustling metropolis to a down-home celebration of Western heritage. Gigantic balloons and decorative floats intermingle with thousands of men and women on horseback to join the skyscrapers and freeways and fill the streets with hoof beats and marching bands. Enthusiastic Houstonians join out-of-town spectators to line the streets and sidewalks to be involved in one of Houston’s most popular celebrations!
