StorageMart Helps Sponsor the American Red Cross-Heart of Missouri Chapter Lifesaver Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday we were fortunate enough to have the chance to recognize the efforts of a very special young person while at the same time continuing our great relationship with the Heart of Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross<\/a> as an official sponsor of their annual Lifesaver Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the second straight year, StorageMart sponsored the Blood Services Awards, given in recognition of exceptional efforts in the area of blood donation and\/or collection.\u00a0 This year\u2019s recipient was recent Calvary Lutheran High School (Jefferson City, MO) graduate Kara Wehemeyer.<\/p>\n

Kara, President of the Calvary Lutheran Key Club, donated blood for the first time in April 2012 as part of the club\u2019s annual blood drive.\u00a0 The experience ignited a passion within her, leading Kara to become a driving force behind her school\u2019s support for the Red Cross.\u00a0 She organized blood drives, drove publicity for them, volunteered at collection events and ensured each of her classmates who donated blood was recognized for their contribution.\u00a0 By the end of the 2012-2013 academic year, Kara\u2019s efforts had led to the collection of 112 units of blood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Red Cross Expansion<\/h2>\n

The end of the school year didn\u2019t end Kara\u2019s enthusiasm for supporting the Red Cross.\u00a0 Since then she\u2019s continued organizing and promoting blood drives, bringing the total amount collected through her efforts to 249 units.<\/p>\n

According to the American Red Cross, each unit of donated blood can save up to three lives, meaning Kara could be responsible for saving the lives of more than 700 people.\u00a0 If that isn\u2019t worthy of the Blood Services Award, and our collective respect and admiration, we\u2019re not sure what is.<\/p>\n

Of course, sponsoring the Lifesaver Awards is just part of StorageMart\u2019s partnership with the Heart of Missouri Chapter of the Red Cross.\u00a0 In the past we\u2019ve also joined them in sponsoring Honor Flight<\/a>, a program enabling America\u2019s veterans to travel to Washington D.C. to visit the various war memorials.\u00a0 StorageMart is a Ready 365 Partner, helping to assist the Red Cross in providing immediate relief to those affected by natural disaster, and the Heart of Missouri Chapter is one of our official Charity Storage partners, receiving financial assistance via the auction of self storage units set up specifically for fundraising purposes.<\/p>\n
