The ceremony will take place at the Headquarters station located at 7550 Lyman, in Darien. A picnic lunchwill be provided for all attendee's following the ceremony.
Additionally, LifeSource Blood Center will be at the fire station for our semi-annual blood drive. This is a critical time for blood centers to increase their available blood supply. Demand for blood increases substantially during the summer months, and this is an opportunity to get ahead of demand.
The Illinois Fire Chief's Scholarship Fund, which provides critical funding for educating Illinois firefighters, benefits from each donation.
LifeSource will accept donors beginning at 8:30 A.M., and pre-scheduling isencouraged.
Donating blood this day also provides a unique opportunity to meet the people who are there for theresidents, 24 hours per day. District firefighters will be donating blood as well.
