Inwood Hosts Blood Drive

As part of the firms’ community involvement efforts, Inwood Consulting Engineers, Inc. hosted a blood drive on Tuesday, February 3 to benefit Florida’s Blood Centers (FBC).  The “Little Red Bus” collected blood donations from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Inwood’s parking lot.  According to FBC, Inwood employees donated enough blood to save 30 lives.
 
“I participated in the blood drive because it makes a difference in our community.  The company blood drive made it convenient and easy to make a donation.  I am happy to do every bit I can do to improve the quality of life for others,” stated Mark Hales, Associate Principal of Inwood.

​FBC’s Donor Development Coordinator, Doug Goldbarth, explained that the blood collected from Inwood’s blood drive can help accident victims, premature babies, cancer patients and other people in need.  “Blood shortages could be eliminated if more corporations pledged to host blood drives, like Inwood, four to six times a year,” stated Goldbarth.
 
The next Inwood blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, 2009.  Numerous employees have already signed up to participate.  As a new addition to Inwood’s community involvement initiatives, the firm plans to continue hosting blood drives in the future.
 
“Inwood is pleased to support our neighbors, friends and loved ones through events like the blood drive.  We will continue to help FBC and other charitable organizations make a difference in our community,” stated Alex Hull, President of Inwood.
