"Thank you to the Young Republican Federation of Alabama and Chair, Stephanie Petelos Nabavian, for having LifeSouth out for your Biannual State Committee Meeting. We provide 80% of the blood to Alabama hospitals and medical facilities, with summer being our lowest months, so it was wonderful for the YRFA to have us out. They went six donors over our projected goal, saving over 60 lives! They had great attitudes and great participation!" Paige Howard, Community Development Coordinator
