This blood drive is in memory of our dear friend Erin Russ, who passed away from pancreatic cancer at the young age of 46. Erin’s birthday would have marked a special milestone—her 50th—this November 16.
As part of her cancer treatment, Erin received blood transfusions that gave her strength and precious time—time to fight, to be with loved ones, and to make lasting memories. Now, we’re giving others the same gift that helped her.
The American Red Cross will be onsite to facilitate the blood collection process, ensuring every donation is safe, efficient, and impactful. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood—whether due to cancer treatments, accidents, surgeries, or chronic illnesses. Just one donation can save up to three lives.
In honor of what would have been her 50th birthday, we’re turning this blood drive into a birthday bash Wisconsin style—complete with burgers, brats, sauerkraut, beer, and all things Green Bay Packers.
Come give blood, make a difference, and honor Erin — or someone close to your heart — through a gift that gives back.
A link to sign up will be shared shortly—stay tuned!
