Amy Smith, Versiti Illinois Area vice president, and Sarah Horne, account representative for the Versiti Blood Center of Illinois, attended the Feb. 11 Naperville Park District board meeting and presented the Beacon of Hope Award to the Park District for being one of the top organizations in the area to host blood drives in 2020.
Beginning in spring 2020, the park district hosted over 25 blood drives at its Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center and Fort Hill Activity Center, partnering with other community groups who needed a location for their blood drives.
