Summary
Versiti Blood Center of Michigan planned the 2020 Rita Gillespie Memorial Blood Drive for July 24 at Gregg Fellowship Hall, with appointments, masks, screening, and distancing procedures.
Evidence limits
The direct organizer notice documents planning and safety procedures. A later organizer report documents completion and 63 units collected, but not a donor list or independently audited downstream medical outcome.

- The organizer thanked donors and local partners and reported that 63 units were collected, with the stated estimate that the units could help save 189 lives. The 63-unit count is an organizer report; the downstream lives-saved figure is a general estimate, not a tracked outcome.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 15 · t015468
- A July reminder repeated the appointment, mask, temperature, exposure-screening, and sanitation procedures before the drive. It adds no attendance result beyond the later 63-unit report.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 15 · t015424
