The Willie Bee Foundation is holding a blood drive in memory of Will Beeman on Thursday, July 27, from 1 to 6 p.m. in the meeting room at the Spencerport Fire District, 175 Lyell Avenue, Spencerport. Appointments are recommended.
Founded by Clay and Christine Beeman in memory of their son, the Willie Bee Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization that supports local families whose children have life-threatening illness.
This blood drive is held every year, often in July because that is when Will, at just three months old, was diagnosed with At/Rt brain cancer. He received many blood transfusions throughout his 20-month fight. Will was a warrior, and the foundation’s goal is to have a full appointment schedule to honor him.
There is an urgent need for blood donations. Blood is being used by hospitals, and patients are needing it just as quickly as the shelves are being stocked. Donating is a selfless act and it costs nothing monetarily.
For an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit http://redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor keyword: SpencerportFireWillBeeman.
