Message from the Director Director Collins's Video Farewell

In 2009, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) partnered with the American Red Cross to sponsor the inaugural Ohio Corrections Blood Drive Challenge (CBDC). This challenge was designed to support the Red Cross in blood collection during its “trauma season” lasting from July 1 through September 30^th, when the need for blood is most critical. This effort resulted in the collection of over 1,100 units from over 700 donors in DRC prisons and parole offices statewide.

We are continuing our partnership this year and hope to encourage the larger Ohio corrections community to join in this challenge. Our theme for 2010 is “Summertime: sit back, relax, & help save a few lives!” The 2010 Corrections Blood Drive Challenge has two goals. First, we hope to bring in new partners from throughout the corrections community, including Community Based Correctional Facilities, local jails, halfway houses, probation departments and our colleagues in the Department of Youth Services. Secondly, with the increased pool of potential donors, we aim to reach the 2,000 mark in units collected. Reaching that goal would mean we will have impacted the lives of 6,000 Ohioans and their families!

All Ohio corrections entities are encouraged to get involved by contacting Darryl Graves, CBDC team leader, at 740-653-4324 ext. 2700 or darryl.graves@odrc.state.oh.us as soon as possible to join this important effort.

I am pleased that we have been asked to continue our leadership role in this important endeavor. I challenge Ohio's corrections community to join us in responding to the needs of our fellow Ohioans.

Sincerely,

Ernie L. Moore
