WAAR Blood Drive Community Day

American Red Cross recognized the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors as their Drive of the Week for the week of August 5th, 2026.

Our blood drive on August 5, 2026, was an outstanding success, collecting 40 pints on a goal of 25, achieving an impressive 160% of goal. Additionally, our drive welcomed five first-time donors and generated four Power Red conversions, resulting in eight additional units of blood products to help patients in need. These accomplishments are especially noteworthy considering this was the organization's first blood drive since 2019.

They also recognized our dedication and enthusiasm as a new Blood Program Leader. Our commitment to donor recruitment, organization, and community engagement played a significant role in the success of this drive. The impact of our efforts will be felt by countless hospital patients who depend on lifesaving blood donations every day.

Thank you to everyone at the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors for the partnership with the Red Cross and for helping ensure a stable blood supply. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership and expanding future blood drive opportunities together.

And thank you to Chesapeake Bank for sponsoring delicious snacks.
