LifeStream blood bank invites the community to join local first responders, medical professionals and the region's most prolific blood donors at the organization's Gift of Life Tribute, 10-Gallon Donor Celebration Sun, Feb.26, 11am-2pm.

Tickets may be purchased through LifeStream's website, www.LStream.org. The deadline to RSVP is Fri, Feb.10. The event includes entertainment, silent auction, lunch, program and awards ceremony.

The event will honor those who teamed to assist community healing in the wake of the Dec.2, 2015 terrorist attack at Inland Regional Center. Thanks to blood donors who had donated in the days before the attack, LifeStream was able to fulfill emergency orders for more than 300 units of blood.

Most of the 22 wounded in the attack required blood transfusions to survive, including Julie Paez of San Bernardino, who will attend the event with her family.

Keely Proctor will receive the Youth Ambassador Award. Keely, 15, received 30 units of blood after falling from a ski lift at the age of 8. Soon after recoving from serious internal injuries, she became a passionate advocate for LifeStream and voluntary blood donation. Shortly after turning 15 and becoming elegible to give blood, she donated for the first time.

Dr. Wesley Stevens will be feted as the Medical Honoree. He is the chief of section for transfusion medicine at LLUMC and is a long-time member of LifeStream's 10-Gallon Donor Club.

LifeStream is a nonprofit, local blood bank. For more info call 800-879-4484 or visit www.LStream.org.
