American Red Cross and All Pro Sound team up to save lives

Born out of a desire to do something that would benefit the Pensacola community, All-Pro Sound hosted their first Lifeline Community Outreach on April 7 at their store, located at 806 Beverly Parkway in Pensacola. The event combined an American Red Cross blood drive with half-hourly CPR and basic first aid demonstrations performed by the American Red Cross of Northwest Florida. The blood drive was a great success, as 25 productive units were collected from the smiling donors

The All-Pro Sound team took the role of blood drive sponsor very seriously, recruiting friends, family members and co-workers in to give the gift of life. All-Pro Sound even went so far as to run advertising on several television stations serving the Pensacola market, thus drawing the public’s interest and pulling more people towards the mission of blood donation.

“The All-Pro Sound team really went above and beyond to guarantee that this blood drive was a success,” said Evan Duffy, Senior Communication Specialist for the American Red Cross Alabama and Central Gulf Coast Region. “They were very enthusiastic about the opportunity to change lives through blood donation, and they donated not only their blood, but their time and resources to our mission as well. We owe All-Pro Sound a debt of gratitude for their willingness to partner with the American Red Cross, and patients in the more than 100 hospitals served by the American Red Cross surely appreciate their zeal for saving lives.”
