About GBPH Charities
Please join Mary and her band of volunteers' efforts to raise over $50,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), a blood drive capable of donations exceeding
200 pints to the Orange County Blood Bank, and
to increase awareness and registrations for the National Marrow Donor Program
through the BAHBAD foundation - in the spirit of Evan's
journey.

For more than 40 years, Orange County parents have counted on Children’s Hospital of Orange County
(CHOC). As a non-profit hospital, CHOC relies on community support to provide leading-edge care for infants, children and adolescents close to home.
The GBPH event goal is to raise over $50,000 for the CHOC FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN
and help them provide the resources necessary to nurture, advance and protect the health and well-being of
children in our community.
Learn more about CHOC by visiting their web site,
or downloading their two interesting fact sheets: Making A
Mark (pdf) and Fact Sheet 911 (pdf).
Calling on this popular phrase as its namesake, GBPH encourages adults in attendance and from the community to donate their life-giving blood.
Our goal for the blood drive is to achieve donations exceeding
200 pints for the Orange County Blood
Bank. As an incentive to teams, a $25 discount is offered to any teams registering with at least two blood donors.
Donating blood is safe and simple. The entire process takes about 45 to 60 minutes. If each of the seventy team provides at least two blood donors, we will have easily met our goal and helped many in our community through these contributions.
A Bloodmobile will be at the event on both Saturday and Sunday so attendees can give a very special donation; their blood.
[Learn more about giving
blood]. We also offer the same discount program for teams who Register
As A Donor
in the National Registry. The
registration consists of a painless oral swab test and a small processing fee of
$52. If you can't pay, we will help! If you can pay, great! Maybe you can help
pay for others, too? And if you are of a minority race, your fee may be waived
entirely! Please see the BAHBAD booth for more details.
