Why is it important that Wilmette FD get credit for your donation?
Because LifeSource now makes monetary donations to support the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association Scholarship Program for firefighter education, based on the volume of blood donated at fire department blood drives. Wilmette firefighters apply for these scholarships for continuing education.
