September Blood Drive Benefits Vitalant

What does Grand Timber Lodge, The Boot Saloon and Vitalant Blood Donation have in common? They all came together on September 22nd to host a Breckenridge Grand Vacations blood drive!  In very short order, all the available appointments filled and at the end of the day, 41 registered donors provided 35 units of whole blood. Even more impressive was that 24 donors gave blood for the first time!

Bill Cipriani and his partners, George Connolly and Mike Steger, from The Boot not only provided the space for the blood drive but they also donated beverages, sandwiches and fruit cups all day long to keep our blood donors well fed and well hydrated!

Special thanks to Josh Stuhr, General Manager at Grand Timber Lodge, for being the driving force behind the drive. His staff did extra duty getting the room ready at The Boot for the blood drive and jumping in with fans when the room was “too warm for comfort” later in the day.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to such a successful blood drive.  Even giving blood makes us smile!
