The Insight Hour events were introduced
last year as an occasion for community
and business leaders to learn more about
the Blood Center and its pioneering research
programs. Sponsoring restaurants
in our region host these wine and appetizer
receptions, which include a short presentation
from Executive Vice President for
Research, José A. López, MD. This engaging,
informal atmosphere gives attendees
the chance to speak with scientists and
Blood Center executives one-on-one
about our worldwide leadership role in
the scientific and medical communities.

Partnerships with the Seattle Mariners
Baseball Club and the Seattle Seahawks
raise community awareness through
displays, promotional events, and instadium
announcements. With the
generous sponsorship of these sports
clubs, and Anheuser-Busch, we have
raised thousands to benefit our research
programs, and communicated our
message to millions of fans.
| In appreciation of the exceptional efforts
of our donors and volunteers, Puget
Sound Blood Center hosted our annual
Partners In Life luncheon in January.
Nearly 1,000 people gathered at the
Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle to
honor all those who have made significant
contributions throughout the year.
We are fortunate to have the largest
volunteer group in Washington State,
which is a great testament to the
relationship between the Blood Center
and our community. This year marked
the 10th anniversary of this event, with
five additional events held across the
region to recognize contributors to
our 11 other donor centers. |
