About 30 people participated in a blood drive organized by Bray & Co. Real Estate in Grand Junction in memory of a co-worker who died following a car crash in October.

All the appointment slots were filled for the drive, conducted at the Bray Education Center in collaboration with Vitalent.

The drive was held as a legacy of Jane Reed, who supported blood donation and contributed blood herself.

“Bray Real Estate extends its heartfelt thanks to all the donors, the team at Vitalent and everyone who supported this event in memory of Jane Reed,” the company stated in a news release. “We look forward to making this an annal tradition, continuing to honor Jane’s legacy and making a positive impact in our community.”

Bray & Co. encouraged people to consider blood donations not only during the holidays, but throughout the year.

“Just one donation can save up to three lives, making every donor a true lifesaver. This event was not just a tribute to Jane, but also a testament to the power of community in addressing crucial health needs.”
