Blood Drive/Breakfast Fundraiser Event in Honor of Lorelei Truett

Blood Drive in Honor of 14-year-old Lorelei Truett

14-year-old Lorelei Truett was diagnosed with leukemia on April 27, 2021. She needs regular blood transfusions during her leukemia treatment and relies on donations from the community. Lorelei is grateful for all the donors who help keep her going, and all the love and support she has received from the community. She invites you to consider supporting her and others by giving your blood to sustain the many members of our community who need it to stay alive. Read more about Lorelei Truett on the Pray for Us page of Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul website.

Tips for Preparing to Donate Blood

For every donor, Blood Assurance will donate $5 to the GoFundMe  for Lorelei's medical treatment.

There will be a Blood Mobile bus parked on the street in front of the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul on East 8th St.

Eligibility for Blood Donation
To be eligible to donate blood, you must be at least 17 years old, weigh more than 110 pounds, and be in good health. Those who are 16 years of age may donate but require a one-time parental consent.
