We Are Blood, the nonprofit blood provider serving more than 50 medical facilities across 10 Central Texas counties, is marking its 75th year with the Legacy of Life Benefit. The organization’s role and anniversary history are described on its website.
Event details
The Humanitix listing schedules the benefit for Thursday, Sept. 24, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Distribution Hall. Austin Monthly gives the same date and venue, while the Austin Chronicle event page also lists Sept. 24. A separate Chronicle venue listing displays both Sept. 24 and Sept. 27, so the date should be confirmed before publication. Tickets are listed at $250, with sponsorships available, according to the Chronicle listings.
The benefit will include an awards presentation, opportunities to meet community leaders, a silent auction and a wine pull, according to the Humanitix event page. Event coverage from Community Impact likewise describes recognition for donors, volunteers, healthcare professionals and partners.
Organizers say ticket and sponsorship revenue will help We Are Blood expand its ability to serve Central Texas. The Humanitix listing characterizes the fundraising as support for the organization’s planned growth, while the Chronicle identifies the proceeds as supporting regional blood infrastructure.
