MOST INNOVATIVE AWARD '19
IL Coalition of Community Blood Centers HonorS ERIC PHILLIPS WITH MOST INNOVATIVE AWARD
|
The winner of the 2019 Most Innovative Blood Drive Coordinator Award is Eric Phillips from the University of Illinois at Chicago Athletic Department. Eric had had a vision of doing the biggest drive humanly possible and he succeeded! After months of logistical planning and a heavily marketing campaign, Eric’s drive held at the U of I Pavilion, resulted in a record number of 759 blood donations which helped save 2,277 lives. This is a highest number of units collected in a single day blood drive in Chicago history. Eric was nominated by Vitalant and was also honored with a House Resolution introduced by House Minority Leader Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) as well as a Senate Congratulatory Certificate from State Senator John Curran (R-Woodridge).
