Thank you to all who donated blood!
Posted on 03/29/2026
Thank you to all who came out and supported our blood
drive at the Spring Fest at Mar Vista Rec. The room was
buzzing all day! You are very much appreciated.
The average take in of blood for a drive is 12 pints. Mar Vista gave them 20!
One pint of donated blood can save or help up to three lives. This is achieved because the collected blood is typically separated into three key components—red blood cells, plasma, and platelets—which can be used individually to treat different patients, such as trauma victims, cancer patients, or infants. Thank You Mar Vista!!!
