| A family member, Tim Kirksey, that is employed by Waste Management, along with other employees, helped coordinate the blood drive in Hannah’s honor. General Manager Kenny Skaggs and his team from Waste Management were instrumental in getting employees to the drive. Fifty two people showed up to help save the lives of children like Hannah and the thousands of people who need blood to survive in the eight local hospitals that Central Illinois Community Blood Center supplies with blood. Christina Schutze recruiter for the blood center said, “Blood is needed every day for patients with cancer, trauma, sickle cell anemia and other diseases. We are very thankful that Waste Management recognizes that need and participates in this community service.” |
