| The D.R.O.P Project is a Huge Success!
The D.R.O.P Project on the 20th of June proved to be an amazing success and showed what a community of people committed to supporting a cause are able to achieve.
The Williams family in conjunction with the Dream Center held a blood drive to make a difference.
After hearing the horrifying statistics, which illustrates the harsh reality of the shortage of blood readily available to our local hospitals and their sick patients, the William’s family knew they had to do something. Cedars Sinai, The Children’s Hospital, and the City of Hope Blood Donor Center alongside all willing blood donors were invited to the Dream Center for a life- saving trade off, and the result was a phenomenal success.
Hospital beds filled the gymnasium and port-a-cabins flooded the car parks (parking lots) in anticipation of the much hoped for hoards of people to show up to the event and show their support by donating their blood.
For seven hours, long lines were formed and units of blood were collected in between games, celebrity appearances, live performances, face painting, and fantastic giveaways.
Other than people having fun while supporting and bringing awareness to a cause, so many people will be helped by the willingness of so many to come out and give blood. Not only an amazing day, but a roaring success!
