Brandon was one of 96 AEDC employees who volunteered to donate blood to the Red Cross during the August 19 – 23 blood drive at Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC). To help promote the blood drive, names of ATA personnel who signed up to donate blood were submitted for a random drawing for a $500 donation in the person’s name to the school of their choice. Brandon’s name was drawn and he requested the donation be made to Tullahoma High School. According to Myers, coordinator of the blood drives, this is a 35 percent improvement from the last Red Cross visit in March. ATA General Manager Steve Pearson has announced that ATA will also provide the same $500 incentive program for Blood Assurance’s visit Oct. 22-25. (Photo by Jacqueline Cowan)
