We will be hosting our next community event on Thursday, August 28th at 5:30pm. This will be a ZOOM webinar all about journalism and the importance of local news. It’s not only for our readers, but we are hoping that schools with a journalism curriculum will also use it as a resource for their students!

Coffee Memorial Help Needed Please
Good morning. We could really use some help with the local blood supply. As of this morning, our O-‘s are desperately low and O+ and A- are not stable. Can you please share the word and ask your friends and family to please come donate? Either at our center at 7500 Wallace Blvd. or a mobile drive.
We are also doing a 10K Vacay giveaway for all donors that donate between today and September 7th and all donors stand a chance to win that amazing package. This Saturday we also have an awesome fun blood drive called GameDay at Coffee Memorial from 11am to 4pm. There will be tons of Dallas Cowboy prizes, BUT one donor will win a Dallas Cowboys package valued at $2,250!!!!
We appreciate you all so much for helping us in our lifesaving mission.
