![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to donors who gave on 11/11 like Harrell, TBC plans to donate $3,380 to the organization! Because of that inspiration, TBC vowed to give $10 for each center donor who gave on Veterans Day to the Wounded Warrior Program, an organization that works with local companies to hire veterans. TBC is honored to be a part of Harrell’s mission. The Jacksonville, Florida native spends his time between donations getting to know veterans in the community, since he can only give blood every 56 days. He donated again in January with TBC in South Carolina to check the box for state #11, as one of the first donors to give at the new North Charleston Donation Center. With the help of TBC, Harrell checked the 10th state off his list: North Carolina. “People that give blood are heroes too, they’re saving lives every time they donate.” “If you want to be a hero…you can do that right here at home,” Harrell told TBC. His goal to only give to community blood centers is what led him to TBC. And on one of the most patriotic days of the year, Veteran’s Day, Harrell landed in Arden, NC to donate blood at the TBC donation center there. Now retired, he says he’s driven by his passion to give back to the communities that make up the great nation he served in the Army. “You might be walking down the street one day and that person right there…you may have saved his or her life,” said Harrell. That’s just donating 50 times right? But the whole thing will take about 7 years! Not your typical road trip… But nonetheless, Harrell hopped into his trusty RV and took off on a journey riding all over the nation, saving local lives along the way. On the surface you may think, ok…that’s doable. And now he’s on a mission to donate blood in every state. Army Veteran, he knows a thing or two about dedication and service. Steve Harrell is a true example of what commitment looks like. ![]() TBC Helps Veteran Donate Blood in Every State ![]()
