Navigation Donations save lives — the story behind the upcoming blood drive at the Annual Florida Bar Convention
FRP Enrichment Committee Co-Chair Rebecca Schriver donates blood to honor the memory her sister, who died of cancer, and to honor the late Alexa Muffley Holt, pictured above with her husband and daughters, who had been a close friend of Schriver’s daughter, Kelsey, since childhood. Holt had glioblastoma, a very aggressive brain cancer. Given a prognosis of six to eight months to live, “donations of blood and platelets every day from strangers kept her on this earth with her little girls and her husband for 18 more months,” says Schriver.
Rebecca Schriver is excited that the Bar is partnering with One Blood for this year’s Annual Florida Bar Convention next week in Boca Raton. Her goal is to personally donate 20 gallons this year.
Schriver, co-chair of the Florida Registered Paralegal Enrichment Committee, plans to get closer to her goal when she attends the blood drive the committee is sponsoring at the One Blood Big Red Bus on Friday, June 27 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
