In honor of Latino/a/x History Month, Latin Professionals Impacting Society (LAPIS) is excited to partner with the American Red Cross on September 30th, 2024 to launch the first of what we hope will be many blood drives. We’ll be working together to give back to the community in a truly life changing way since each donation we collect can save up to three lives.

There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate. I've already signed up, and we’re looking forward to seeing many more of you on September 30.

The Red Cross has been making a humanitarian impact for more than 130 years, and has been collecting blood for over 70 of those years. LAPIS can be part of something important when we work with the Red Cross to strengthen the blood supply and give back to our community.

Thank you for making LAPIS such a success. Let’s make an impact on September 30th at 1100 S. Hamilton, Chicago, IL 60612 Concourse level and add saving lives to our list of great accomplishments.
