Blood Centers of the Pacific (BCP), a local non-profit blood provider, is proud to partner with 5 Star Car Wash and Detail Center in Vacaville, CA. for another lifesaving event.
Bill Proestler, owner of 5 Star Car Wash and Detail Center, is passionate about giving blood. His daughter has been a recipient, “Kortney at age 18 was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. She was treated aggressively at UC Davis in Sacramento for over a year. Her treatment required a bone marrow transplant, radiation and chemotherapy. The whole process required over 80 units of blood. It’s important for us to hold these events at our business to help others survive.
BCP has been a community blood provider since 1941 and serves patients in more than 50
hospitals in the Bay Area. We rely 100 percent on volunteer donors who save countless lives each year. BCP needs to see 500 donors a day to meet the needs of local hospitals and
“Donating blood is an easy and rewarding way to help save a life” states Elizabeth Rising, BCP Account Representative. “We are grateful for 5 Star Car Wash’s continued support. Through our partnership, nearly 300 lifesaving units of blood have been donated.” Please join us at the May blood drive.
