Rhode Island Blood Center Press Conference


Today The Rhode Island Blood Center held a press conference at T's Restaurant in East Greenwich to unveil my print for the 2010-2011 Seasons' Pass program. It was an honor to have been selected to be the Artist for the program, as I am following in the steps of great RI Artists such as Maxwell Mays, Richard Grosvenor, Harley Bartlett, Anthony Tomaselli, and others.
The Seasons' Pass program is in its 9th year, and is reserved for those who donate blood 4 or more times per year. Those in the program will receive a print of the original work unveiled today, and the program has helped to double the number of 4 time-per-year donors, and has resulted in more than 32,000 additional blood donations.
Anyone who has donated four or more times from March 1 2010- February 28, 2011 can pick up a print at any donor center or blood drive. Please visit the Blood Center's web site at www.ribc.org
If you would like to start donating for next years Seasons' Pass program its not too late, and the incoming Artist for the 2011-2012 Seasons' Pass will be Kendra Ferreira, of Middletown, RI.
