Donating blood at this drive is a way
to honor Kinzie's memory.Kinzie died in September 2010 from
pancreatic cancer. At the time of her death, First Presbyterian was
planning a special blood drive in her honor at the church. After her
death, that blood drive was so successful that the congregation
decided to have the annual June blood drive in her name.
The Central Illinois Community Blood Center is the sole provider
of blood and blood products to patients of hospitals in 14 counties,
including Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Logan County.
