ConferenceCall.com Gives Back to the Community
CARROLLTON, TX - August 6, 2002 - Throughout the past year ConferenceCall.com has prided itself on helping the community and charitable organizations. Doctors diagnose millions of people every year with diseases that require stem cell transplantation. People infected with leukemia, inherited immune system disorders, severe aplastic anemia, Hodgkin's disease, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Myelodys plastic syndromes, Histiocytic disorders, and inherited erythrocyte abnormalities are just a few of the diagnoses that would benefit from a charitable gesture. ConferenceCall.com finds it important to hold blood and marrow donor drives to help those in need.
On April 11, ConferenceCall.com invited Carter Blood Care into the office so that its employees could participate in a blood drive. Over 50% of the staff took time to donate blood. To encourage generosity in "needle-shy" employees, the company held a raffle for three $25 dollar gift certificates for participants in the drive. The turnout from the blood drive was so impressive that on August 6, the company invited Carter Blood Care back into the office. This time, employees donated blood to participate in their Marrow Donor Program. Once more employees came out in full force in support of this cause. Thirty-five percent of the participants were eligible to donate their blood for further testing.
If you or your organization would like to donate blood or volunteer to be a marrow donor, please visit www.nmdpdallas.org. Despite the great turnout for both of these drives the company's participation can only cover a fraction of the people in need.
