The Greater Frederick Republican Women Holding a Blood Drive

The Greater Frederick Republican Women, a new Republican Women’s organization in Frederick County, in conjunction with Spartan Tactical, will be holding a blood drive for the Red Cross as their first public event.

The blood drive will take place on Monday, June 12th from 3 to 8pm at Spartan Tactical and Police Supply, located at 5735 Industry Lane in Frederick, Maryland.

Collecting blood is always difficult and the Summer months are the most challenging time to do so.  According to the Red Cross website, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood and more than 17,000 Red Cross blood donations are needed every day. The Red Cross supplies approximately 40 percent of the nation’s blood and provides blood for patients at nearly 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the U.S.

Marie Fischer-Wyrick, co-founder of the Greater Frederick Republican Women stated, “I was brought up with the saying ‘…whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.’ I hope the residents of Frederick County will come out and help us to help save someone’s entire world”

The Greater Frederick Republican Women was founded in the Spring of 2017 by a group of Republican Women who wanted to encourage women to serve in their government, as well as their communities.
