VIP Donors help support summer blood supply.
More than a dozen leaders from the civic and business community came together in support of "VIP Donor Day" on July 11. "VIP Donor Day" is held in support of the Blood Bank of Delmarva's 5th annual Summer Blood Challenge, a Delmarva-wide competition among area employers to recruit the most blood donors and Blood Bank members. "VIP Donor Day" also calls attention to the Blood Bank's Wilmington Donor Center, where it can often be a struggle to fill donation schedules.
