Don’t Miss Faces for Life!
In conjunction with the 65th Anniversary of Puget Sound Blood Center, Faces for Life will present 65 patient stories of people whose lives have been touched by the Blood Center and benefited from giving or receiving blood, tissue, or patient care at the Blood Center. You will be able to view the patient stories at Bellevue Square from February 22 to March 5, 2010.

The Faces for Life Gala and Auction at Seattle’s Grand Hyatt will be held Saturday, March 6, 2010 beginning at 6:00 pm. For tickets visit facesforlife.org.

Champion Blood Donor
Longtime Blood Center supporter and donor, Bob Hungershafer, has once again been recognized as a premier blood donor. Mr. Hungershafer has donated over 600 units of blood – which means his blood could have possibly saved 1,800 people. We congratulate and thank Bob for his commitment to blood donation.
