Blood Assurance, the dedicated blood bank serving Columbia, Lawrenceburg, and nearby communities, is organizing a blood drive on Monday, August 26th. This event will take place from 2 PM to 6 PM at the Rotary Park Office Gym. The blood drive is being held in honor of Dr. Scott Benefield, a respected member of the community. Those interested in participating can register online by visiting bloodassurance.org/drscottbenefield.
In addition to the blood drive, a benefit bike ride titled “Backroads for Benefield” is scheduled for Saturday, October 12th. The proceeds from this event will assist with the ongoing medical expenses incurred by Dr. Scott Benefield, who suffered serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle while cycling over a year ago. Event shirts are currently available for purchase, and further details, including registration information, can be found on the Backroads for Benefield Facebook page. This initiative not only supports Dr. Benefield but also brings the community together for a worthy cause.
