APWA Colorado YP

Hello APWA Colorado Friends!

The APWA Colorado Young Professionals (YP) Group is excited to announce they will be sponsoring a VIRTUAL BLOOD & FOOD DRIVE.

Don’t want to give blood…..you can still help out and have a chance to win prizes! Blood donations are in huge demand but due to the economic hardships of COVID-19 along with the growing homelessness issue Colorado is facing, food banks also desperately need our help, too.

This Virtual Blood & Food Drive will be from October 1st until November 30th. We are asking for people to either donate blood for 5 chances to win and/or to donate 5 items of food (or $5 equivalent donation) for 1 chance to win up to 25 items. That’s a total of 10 chances to win per member. There will be a weekly gift card drawing so the sooner you start donating the longer you will be entered to win each drawing - so donate early and donate often!

Special Bonus for YP members – Any YP member that participates in the drive will be entered to win 2x the normal number of chances to win. Not a member yet? No worries, it’s free – just email [email protected] and we will get you signed up.

To enter and report your donations see details on the APWA website: http://colorado.apwa.net/EventDetails/24598

Thanks to our generous sponsors Alfred Benesch & Company and the APWA Colorado Chapter, we will be holding weekly drawings for gift cards to those that participate. Gift cards will be from some of the APWA YP Committee members’ favorite local restaurants and shops – so you will be helping them out as well during these times! Winners will be announced each week, so get your donations in and reported early to maximize your chances to win. Be sure to take advantage of the YP 2x entries while you can.

in 2015, there was 700 total work zone fatalities and 35,526 work zone injuries! Join FHWA in celebrating National Workzone Awareness Week by SLOWING DOWN. Spread the word...it's an important one.
