TerraPro Solutions and Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serving the Pacific Southwest, to Host San Diego Blood Bank Blood Drive


Claudine Van Gonka

Hosting a blood drive is one of the most impactful ways to help families in Southern California. We are extremely grateful to TerraPro Solutions and Better Business Bureau Pacific Southwest’s San Diego Campus, for their support in hosting a life-saving blood drive.

The San Diego Blood Bank Blood Drive will be held on Friday, March 25th, from 10:00am to 3:30pm at the Better Business Bureau, 4747 Viewridge Ave., San Diego, CA 92123. The public is encouraged to donate.

The U.S. has a national blood crisis. The San Diego Blood Bank and blood banks across the country are experiencing a major decline in donor turnout. These collection challenges have disrupted blood supply, resulting in alarmingly low inventories of blood products for our community.

Blood cannot be manufactured; it must be voluntarily donated by a human. Giving blood a single time can help save up to three lives. The San Diego Blood Bank serves hospitals in Southern California, including trauma centers and neonatal intensive care units.

“Hosting a blood drive is one of the most impactful ways to help families in Southern California,” states San Diego Blood Bank Director of Community Relations and Marketing, Claudine Van Gonka. “We are extremely grateful to TerraPro Solutions and BBB Pacific Southwest’s San Diego Campus, for their support in hosting a life-saving blood drive.”

“In keeping with our ‘be a good human’ values, TerraPro Solutions is pleased to support the life-saving work of the San Diego Blood Bank,” said Kimberlee Centera, CEO, TerraPro Solutions.

“We value the spirit of collaboration that unites us in supporting the important work of the San Diego Blood Bank,” remarked Linda Karimi, director of hospitality and business development Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest.

Every donation saves lives. Anyone considering donating blood can visit SanDiegoBloodBank.org or call 619-400-8251. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome.
