Foundation Outdoor blood donation drive ‘saves’ 69 lives

The Foundation Outdoor Group, North America’s largest supplier of rod components, underlined its community roots by collaborating in a major blood donation drive.

In partnership with One Blood and the Big Red Bus, its employees, volunteers and local community gave 23 life-saving blood donations that will impact the lives of 69 people.

“Realising that there is a significant blood shortage across central Florida, we reached out to One Blood to offer our support. It’s just one small way that we can give back to the community,” said Brook Oliva, President and COO, at the Foundation Outdoor Group.

“I am extremely proud of the dedication and commitment shown by Megan Dambro, who spearheaded Foundation’s One Blood relationship, our members, partners and the local community in making this blood donation a success. We look forward to making this a regular commitment from Foundation Outdoor Group.

Partnering with One Blood and utilising the iconic Big Red Bus for the drive, facilitated a convenient and accessible way for individuals to participate.

Foundation Outdoor Group is a world leader in fishing rod and tackle crafting components with a line-up of brands that include Mud Hole Tackle, American Tackle, MHX, Custom Rod Builder (CRB), ProProducts, ThreadMaster and FishHawk, with offices on three continents.
