Troy Rotary and American Red Cross Blood Drive

Why we partner with the American Red Cross

Troy Rotary is proud to partner with the American Red Cross and be a part of all they do for our community, our country and around the world. Our blood drive is important to patients in need, but the collection and distribution of blood is just a small part of all the Red Cross does. The enormity of what the Red Cross accomplishes every day is astounding and this is one of the reasons we chose them as one of our community outreach partners.
