Labor Day – Life’s a Trip Sweepstakes Winner
Meet the winner of our Labor Day Sweepstakes trip for 2, Cynthia (Cindy) Ason!
Cindy, a first-time donor with Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB), had an unforgettable experience at our new Eagle Run Donor Center. She initially came in to participate in the We Give Blood Drive, eager to support the Nebraska Huskers and claim a vintage Huskers t-shirt generously provided by Abbott.
What she didn’t expect? To walk away the winner of a trip to New Orleans!
Cindy’s story is a reminder of how giving back can be rewarding in more ways than one! Thank you, Cindy, for joining our lifesaving mission-we can’t wait to see you back in the donor chair!
