Fountain Hills Noon Kiwanis has once again been recognized with a United Blood Services Hero Award for 2016.
The local Noon Kiwanis is one of 38 organizations state-wide recognized this year by United Blood Services for their donation efforts. The 38 organizations together provided more than 13,000 donations to United Blood Services in the past year.
The efforts of blood drive coordinators throughout the state were recently applauded at Valentines for Life, United Blood Services premier annual awards event.
Last year, volunteer blood drive coordinators, like Noon Kiwanis’ Dr. Liz Smith and Paul Appeldorn, from 1,401 organizations hosted 3,440 blood drives across Arizona, which provided 90,352 blood donations. Because blood can be separated into components to benefit multiple patients, those donations saved nearly 200,000 Arizona lives.
