Volunteers came out to the Charles R. Drew blood drive to encourage others to donate blood as well as become donors themselves. The event was held at Wal-Mart in Lake Jackson, Texas from 9am-3pm. 47 units of blood were donated to assist in the large effort to save lives in the Texas Gulf Coast Area. Rho Xi is proud to assist the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center in this cause by making donation opportunities as convenient as possible for citizens in the Southern Brazoria County Area on a quarterly basis.
