Today is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day… how will you celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King?

At the Red Cross, we will be hosting a “Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blood, Bone Marrow & Organ Donor Registry Drive” next Saturday, January 23, from 7:30am-1:00pm at the Portland Donor Center. In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., event attendees can donate blood, learn more about organ donation, and sign up for the organ donor registry. Roosevelt High School Power Academy Health Club students will also offer free health screenings and information on heart disease, hypertension, stress, diabetes and cholesterol.
