[1]Suncoast Communities Blood Bank Receives Grant.
The William and Marie Selby Foundation awarded Suncoast Communities Blood Bank (SCBB) $75,000 towards the purchase of a new bloodmobile.
60% of SCBB’s blood collection is a result of over 1,000 community blood drives held each year. A new bloodmobile will enable SCBB to add 200 blood drives annually. This means approximately 3,000 more units (pints) of blood annually. Given that each donation can save up to three lives, blood collection from a new bloodmobile can serve up to 9,000 more patients.
