SAVE THE DATE

Sunday, October 12, 2014, the Andrew Blackwood Memorial Blood Drive

returns to Saint Mark's. What is this and why does it matter? Andy Blackwood

was a Boy Scout in St. Mark's Troop 1 when he contracted cancer. While being

treated at City of Hope, he had 3 goals: to graduate from high school with his

friends, become an Eagle Scout, and to organize a blood drive to help other

people with cancer. Ultimately, Andy lost his battle with cancer, but he lived

long enough to achieve all 3 of his goals. Each year since, Troop 1 has partnered

with City of Hope to hold this blood drive in his memory. Thanks to the support

of our School and Church communities, this is now City of Hope's largest annual

blood drive! Please contact Seth, Nick, or Jonas Bass for more information or to

sign up: 818-359-4108 or craboo@mac.com. They, and other members of the

Saint Mark's Scouting family are happy to accept sign-ups from anyone 18 or

over. If you have questions about your eligibility to donate, do not hesitate to ask

as qualifications change over time. Refreshments and comfortable donation beds

are provided.
