On April 3, 2019, the men of Psi Alpha Alpha (PsiAA) Chapter, Third District, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. co-sponsored and provided operational assistance to Washington-Lee High School. This marks the second time that the chapter collaborated with Washington-Lee high school staff and students in support of this worthy and impactful event. The chapter brothers volunteered, supplied wrist band, and provided assistance wherever needed to ensure a successful event. This event serves as first of the many Psi Alpha Alpha Chapter blood drives this year to commemorate the work and spirit of our brother, the Honorable Charles Drew.
This yearly blood drive continue to be very important in the community, as it provided the students, staff, and any other volunteers an opportunity to donate blood via the INOVA Health System blood donation team for patients in need throughout the community. This service was provided free of charge and was open to the public.
This was a successful event as noted by approximately 60 donors. There were initially 70 plus student consent forms and about 10-15 teachers/staff who volunteered, in addition two PsiAA brother donating blood for an initial anticipated 70 - 80 participants. The collected results consisted of approximately 75 blood products. The efforts will benefit an estimated 225 patients.
The organizer (Ms. Timica Shivers) of the Washington-Lee High School continues to demonstrate great leadership and tremendous enthusiasm during the event. She voiced her appreciation to the brothers of Psi Alpha Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Participating Psi Alpha Alpha brothers for this event: Leroy Latten, Kenneth Younger, Craig Spraggins, and Calvin Beidleman
