Lincoln College honored by American Red Cross

[MAY 30, 2003]  Lincoln College was recently named sponsor of the month for April 2003 by the central Illinois chapter of the American Red Cross. The award recognizes the efforts of those who have gone above and beyond in hosting a Red Cross blood drive.

Lincoln College hosted a blood drive on April 30 with a goal of obtaining 60 new blood donors. Lincoln College students and donors from the Lincoln community met that goal and posted a new record of 86 donors. Lincoln College also broke a record of recruiting type "O" blood donors.

Doug Padgett, donor services representative of Central Illinois Red Cross, says the drive was huge success. "We are grateful for all the students who supported the drive and the efforts of the Red Cross. I don't think the students realize what an impact they have made on helping others."

John Stoltzenburg, Lincoln College student activities director, and Jeff Nelson, assistant director, are giving thanks to the many student groups that helped get the word out. "All of the students pulled together to get their classmates to donate," Stoltzenburg said. "I think our student body went above what was expected, and they deserve all the credit."

Lincoln College President Ron Schilling said the honor is a reflection of the Lincoln College student body. "Our students are truly great caring individuals, and so it doesn't surprise me that their efforts exceeded the goal. I am very proud of the support Lincoln College has shown and am happy to congratulate the entire student body on this award."
