On April 29, Holbrook resident Nicole Young went to Phoenix where she was awarded the Impact Award by Vitalant Southwest Division. According to Young, the Impact Award is the most prestigious and difficult award to earn, signifying outstanding leadership in blood drive coordination. This award is given to coordinators and organizations that work above and beyond to encourage participation in their blood drives. Young volunteers her time, hosting five blood drives each year in Holbrook. This is the second time Young has received the Impact Award. Young noted, “Thanks to my committed donors. I have hosted 18 drives so far.” The next blood drive will be held from 2 to 7 p.m., on Thursday, June 23, at the Holbrook Fire Department Station No. 3, located at 100 Airport Road.
