On June 17, 2023, the Brothers of Psi Alpha Alpha, Third District of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., partnered with the Children's Hospital to encourage the Brothers and others to participate in the blood donation efforts to honor our beloved Brother Charles Drew an American surgeon and researcher. Through his brilliant ingenuity in blood transfusion and blood plasma preservation, we now have some lifesaving techniques today. The event was held outside the Gum Springs Community Center in Alexander, VA. The Childrens Hospital provided a van to collect the donations. This year's blood drive effort successfully brought forth 12 donors (Brothers and volunteers). They donated approximately 12 units that would impact 36 deserving lives. We thank all our brothers and volunteers willing to extend their arms for a worthy cause. The chapter will continue to look for ways to improve its blood drive donation efforts in the future.
