20 Minutes of Your Time Saves 3 Lives

The Forward 4 Tobi Foundation is Partnering with LifeSource to host a Community Blood Drive Sunday, June 7th from 8am - 1pm in Deerfield

The Forward 4 Tobi Foundation is once again partnering with LifeSource to host a Community Blood Drive Sunday, June 7th from 8am - 1pm at Jewett Park Community Center, 836 Jewett Road, Deerfield, IL.

The Forward 4 Tobi Foundation was established to continue the legacy of Tobi (Geman) Klonecki who passed away of breast cancer in May 2013 at the age of 42. As part of her cancer treatment, Tobi required countless blood transfusions. When asked what people could do to help, she often responded “donate blood,” because it was something that helped her as well as so many others. 1 pint can save up to 3 lives!

To schedule your appointment, please contact LifeSource 877-543-3768 or visitwww.lifesource.org using Group Code DF98. Appointments preferred; walk-ins are always welcome.

If you are unable to donate blood, please consider making a donation to the the Forward 4 Tobi Foundation, which aims to improve the lives of patients suffering from breast cancer by providing financial assistance for medical expenses, childcare, and other daily-unmet needs so they may focus on fighting this insidious disease.
