Eight Gwinnett companies are sponsoring an American Red Cross blood drive to be held in Reeves Young’s office building (45 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Sugar Hill, GA) on October 23rd from 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Members of the Gwinnett community as well as employees of the sponsoring organizations are welcome.

“We wanted to do something helpful for others at a time when there has been a lot of tragedy” says Reeves Young CEO/President Eric Young. Reeves Young and many firms have office Halloween parties at this time of year, and Reeves Young has a community service focused employee group called the ‘Parsons Project’; the theme is a way for our group to create lightheartedness for people who take time out of their day to contribute.” “The Gwinnett community is very generous and connected to each other, it was easy to find companies to join the blood drive effort” says Monique Hicks, Founder of Vitality Med Spa and Plastic Surgery Center, a co-sponsor of the event. Event sponsors include Signarama Buford & Duluth, Fab’rik, Brand Bank, Wealth Horizon, MIS Solutions and Veugeler Design Group.

To register for a donation appointment, community members can go to www.redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code: wewantyourblood. Reeves Young and all sponsoring organizations will also be collecting disaster relief supplies on site the day of the blood drive.
