Crystal D, a Leading Supplier of Corporate Awards and Plaques, Coordinates Blood Drive with Other Local Companies

June 1, 2009 – St. Paul, Minn. – www.crystal-d.com – Crystal D, a leading supplier of corporate awards and plaques, hosted an American Red Cross blood drive on May 11. Crystal D coordinated the blood drive along with Warners’ Stellian, a local appliance retailer.

A total of 14 individuals participated from both organizations. During the three-hour event, 12 units of blood were collected -- enough blood to save up to 36 lives.

“This blood drive is a great way to give back to our community,” says Bridget Dahlgren, marketing coordinator. “We are headquartered in a small business park, which has given us the perfect opportunity to collaborate with other businesses.”

This is the third year Crystal D has coordinated the blood drive.
