Betty Hunt named Red
Cross “March Volunteer of the Month”
(February 22, 2017) — The Central Ohio Blood Services Region of the
American Red Cross named Betty Hunt “March 2017 Volunteer of the
Month.” Hunt, a resident of Bellefontaine, received the distinguished
departmental award for her outstanding and longtime service as a
biomedical volunteer with the Northern Miami Valley Ohio Chapter of the
American Red Cross.
Hunt serves as the blood drive coordinator for the Bellefontaine First
United Methodist Church, and works as a Donor Ambassadors for several
blood drives throughout Logan County. She has become the county’s “go
to” person, says account manager Peter Checkie, and has even expanded
the county’s blood collection totals by identifying leads for new blood
drives in the territory. It’s impossible to calculate the number of
lives she has impacted through her volunteer work, says Checkie.
If you would like to join the Red Cross in honoring Betty and her
continued dedication to the community, consider hosting a “Sleeves Up”
event. No blood mobile or space is needed. Simply create your
campaign online, and send an invitation to your friends and family
members from around the country to join you in donating blood and
saving lives. ”It’s an incredible way to save lives”, says
Executive Director Lynne Gump, “even if you can’t give blood yourself,
you can encourage your friends and family!”. In three easy steps
you can customize your online campaign and you can share it with
everyone. Send an email to your contacts that includes your dedicated
campaign URL, or share it on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. You’ll be
notified as people pledge to give on your behalf, so you can also come
back and update your page at any time to say thanks.
