Sonoma County Focus – 16th Annual Bucket Brigade Challenge

Host Michelle Marques talks about the upcoming 16th Annual Bucket Brigade Challenge that starts on December 4th and runs through January 2021. Guests Kim Walsh, Vitalant donor recruitment representative, Hannah Morales, blood recipient, and Erich Engle, Sonoma County Fire District talk about the importance of blood donation and how easy it can be, with most donors able to complete the entire process in an hour.

The Bucket Brigade Challenge, now in its 16th season, is a friendly competition among participating fire departments in Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino counties to see which department can host the largest blood drive by enlisting firefighters, friends, family and the community to donate lifesaving blood during the holiday season. All donors receive a Bucket Brigade T-shirt! While supplies last.
