Financial contributions are essential in keeping the Inland Northwest Blood Center on the cutting edge of transfusion medicine. Our center is the key link between thousands of volunteer blood donors, medical facilities, and patients in the Inland Northwest (often beyond) in need of lifesaving blood transfusions and medical procedures. Financial gifts help support INBC’s vital programs and services dedicated to keep the Inland Northwest’s blood supply safe and strong each and everyday.
Current Efforts:
- Life Saver 3
Nearly 70% of our total blood supply comes from our mobile drives throughout Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana. Our current mobile collection fleet consists of four mobile donor coaches, and a mobile unit equipped to collect blood at various locations. New to this coach will be the addition of two automated double red cell collection machines, allowing INBC to safely collect twice the amount of much needed blood types in a single donor encounter. The addition of these machines will enable us to increase our collections by 18-20%. For more information on sponsoring or contributing to our LS3 please contact Paul Oleniacz at (509) 232-4547.
- Epicurean Delight
For the third year, INBC is proud to host Spokane’s Ultimate Culinary Gala, November 7, 2008. This event features the most exquisite restaurants, paired with the finest wineries and microbreweries of the Inland Northwest. Proceeds from this event benefited the Inland Northwest Blood Center.
