Donna, who worked for Mass Department of Transportation, has been a committed blood donor and knows that blood saves lives. In fact, when Donna’s adoptive father was at Cooley in need of a blood transfusion, Donna had donated blood the previous day. And, they happened to be a perfect match! She now says they became blood related. When it was time for Donna to update her estate plans, there was no question in her mind that she wanted her parting gift to our community to support a program she has been so involved with during her lifetime. She knows this important service will live on when she is no longer here.
