Ten OneBlood buses for blood donations will be near Memory Mall from 2-8 p.m. Thursday to commemorate nearly a year since the Pulse shooting tragedy struck Orlando.
On June 12, 2016, 49 people were killed when a shooter opened fire in the nightclub in downtown Orlando. Among those killed were Juan Ramon Guerrero, a 麻豆原创 student, and Christopher Andrew Leinonen, a 麻豆原创 alumnus.
In the days and weeks following, the 麻豆原创 and Orlando community showed an outpouring of kindness to support the victims, their families and friends. At 麻豆原创 alone, 10 blood drives June 13-27 resulted in 424 donated units of blood and 74 new bone-marrow donor registrations.
麻豆原创鈥檚 June 8 blood drive, in partnership with OneBlood, will be the largest blood-donation site in east Orlando in remembrance of Pulse.
