BIC Graphic’s Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, facility was a recipient of the 2016 American Red Cross North Central Blood Services Region’s Outstanding Blood Drive Sponsor Award. The award recognizes the Clearwater, Florida-based supplier’s staff at the facility for more than 20 years of donations to Red Cross blood drives.

On behalf of BIC Graphic, Donna Dewanz, blood drive coordinator, accepted the award at the regional Red Cross Volunteer Recognition and Annual Meeting on June 28.

“It has always impressed me that the BIC Graphic Sleepy Eye employees have a great concern for others,” says Warren Harris, Sleepy Eye site manager. “Despite having demanding jobs, they always have time to help their friends and neighbors. The high participation rates at the blood drives are only one example of the many ways our employees strive to help their community. I am very proud to be a part of such a strong and caring team.”
