Cameron Fahey Memorial Blood Drive & Marist's Summer Festival Tomorrow, July 18th

Dear Chicago,



Tomorrow, July 18th, the 19th Ward Youth & Community Foundation and the Cameron Miller Fahey Memorial Scholarship Foundation will host a blood drive at Brother Rice High School (10001 S. Pulaski Road), from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm in the gym. Please consider donating blood in memory of Cameron Miller Fahey, a Saint Barnabas alum and Brother Rice student who lost his battle with lymphoma at the age of 17. Blood donations save lives, and we urgently need all blood types in the Chicagoland area. Appointments are required and can be made by calling 1-800-280-4102 or registering online at www.communityblood.org. Be sure to bring a photo ID to the appointment. See the flyer below.

This event is co-sponsored by Alderman Matthew O'Shea, Senator Bill Cunningham, Representative Mary Gill, and The Community Blood Center.

A special thanks to the Crusaders of Brother Rice High School for their strong partnership in this life-saving effort.
