YPN BLOOD DRIVE: HUGE SUCCESS!!!

Great job! We registered 25 people and after the deferrals, drew 20. Sixteen were first time donors! With 20 blood draws, your drive will save up to 60 lives at our local hospitals. We want to thank everyone for all their help. Please know that each donor is someone’s blessing. (Everyone who donated at your drive will be able to donate again on August 31, 2009)

Thank you again for helping us to save lives.

Also thank you to our chairs of this event: Melissa Buckingham and Branden Benson! Thank you to Hello Cupcake for donating lots of yummy cupcakes!!

YPN Responds to Local Need

In response to the shortage of blood donations in our area, the Young Professionals Network of Tacoma-Pierce County is responding by partnering with Cascade Regional Blood Services and Hello Cupcake to sponsor a Blood Drive on July 6th from 4:30-7pm next to Cutters Point, downtown Tacoma. Each person who donates will receive a free cupcake from Hello Cupcake.

YPN Tacoma-Pierce County Golf Scramble

We've expanded this popular event to an 18 hole scramble format. Scramble format: usually played with 4-person teams. In a scramble, each player tees off on each hole. The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed. A scramble format is great for the avid, recreational or beginning golfer!

Sign up now! We have space for 8 teams with 4 players per team. Create your own team and sign up as a foursome or a twosome (and be paired up) or sign up individually and be teamed up with others.

Tournament includes: 18 holes, golf cart, range balls, welcome bag of goodies and prizesTournament cost / player: $37 for Members, $42 for Non-members
