Today, The Phelps Group hosted a blood drive to benefit pediatric and adult cancer patients at City of Hope Cancer Center. We called on our associates, as well as members of the community, to give the gift of life — and the response was phenomenal! More than 50 people made an appointment, while many others “walked in” to donate — and we are thrilled that we exceeded our goal of 35 useable units of blood!

City of Hope patients rely on more than 25,000 units of blood and platelets each year for survival. There is no substitute or synthetic form of human blood; therefore, donations are vital to the men, women and children in City of Hope’s care. Every one of those units comes from caring people – family, friends and other generous individuals who want to make a difference. We thank all who came out to offer their support!
