Blood drive to be held in memory of Savannah Williams
NORWICH – Families and friends of the late Savannah Williams are asking residents of the greater-Norwich region to donate blood at a special blood drive in Savannah's memory on Thursday, December 21 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Holy Family School.
The special blood drive is being facilitated by the American Red Cross and will take place one day after the first anniversary of Savannah's death.
Savannah, a 2016 Norwich High School graduate, was a freshman at SUNY Geneseo majoring in biochemistry and a member of the school's women's basketball team. Savannah passed away after her car collided with a tractor-trailer on December 20, 2016.
In her short 18 years of life, Savannah was a community role model who touched the lives of many. She volunteered at the Norwich Family YMCA, and was an active member of Students Against Drunk Driving, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and YES LEADS—a youth-led program that focuses on drug and alcohol prevention.
“Savannah lived her life wanting to always help people. She would be very happy that friends and community members are playing a part in this special tribute in helping others in her memory,” said Savannah’s parents, Mark and Shari Williams.
If you would like to donate blood in Savannah's memory, visit Holy Family School located at 17 Prospect Street in Norwich on Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
You may also download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.
