Keller Williams Real Estate Celebrates Community Spirit with a Lifesaving Event For REDDay 2024
Hawley, PA. Keller Williams Real Estate in Hawley invites the community to roll up their sleeves for a good cause. From 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on May 9, 2024, the Keller Williams office on Route 6, just across from the visitor center on Lake Wallenpaupack, will transform into a hub of hope and generosity with a blood drive organized in partnership with the American Red Cross as part of KW REDDay 2024.
REALTOR® Deanna Mazzotta, a local Keller Williams agent, shares her thoughts on the event: “Hosting a blood driveDonate Blood Hawley PA 2024 aligns perfectly with our core value of giving back. It’s a simple act, but the effects are profound. Your donation could save a neighbor, a friend, or someone’s family member right here in our community.”
The need for blood is urgent and constant. The Red Cross reminds us that patients with conditions like cancer, chronic diseases, those undergoing organ transplants, or victims of trauma rely heavily on blood donations. Right now, there’s a critical demand for donors with blood types O negative, B negative, and A negative. Type O negative blood, often called the universal donor type, is especially crucial as it can be administered in emergencies when there’s no time to match a patient’s blood type.
Sherrie Miller, REALTOR® and Broker of Record at the Keller Williams office in Hawley, emphasizes the importance of participation: “The time it takes to donate can add years to someone’s life. We are calling on our community to join us in this selfless act. It’s a small investment of time for a potentially lifesaving return.”
Appointments are required to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Prospective donors are encouraged to secure a spot by visiting the Red Cross website at redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive and entering the sponsor code KW HAWLEY or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
As an added incentive, the event will also feature a basket raffle, with all proceeds going to the local Red Cross chapter. Not only will participants be aiding those in need of blood transfusions, but they will also be supporting the broader humanitarian efforts of the Red Cross.
Hosting the Red Cross Bloodmobile is part of Keller Williams’ REDDay initiative—an annual event where every KW office across the United States and Canada dedicates a day to community service. The RED in REDDay stands for “Renew, Energize, and Donate,” what better way to embody this spirit than by donating blood? Every pint of blood collected can save up to four lives. With the participation of community members like our fantastic neighbors in Hawley and throughout the Lake Wallenpaupack region, the impact could be immense.
So, mark your calendar for May 9, call a friend, schedule an appointment, and participate in this vital community event. It’s a beautiful opportunity to impact and exemplify the spirit of giving. Plus, enjoy some snacks, the company of fellow donors, and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve contributed to a crucial cause.
