Don’t Just Sit There… Bleed.
This year’s blood collection surpassed last year’s total by 210 pints and marks the first time the event eclipsed 1,000 donations since those distant pre-pandemic days of 2019. In addition, 123 of this year’s participants were first-time blood donors.
The daylong live broadcast featured (naturally) the cast of The Preston & Steve Show, Pierre Robert, and Brent Porche. As a special value-added bonus, WMMR’s ironman, night jock Jacky Bam Bam stayed up all night into the morning to lend a helping hand with Preston and Steve.
