Harper House and Carter BloodCare together raised 30 units of blood Thursday, October 23 in a very successful blood drive held at the Harper House headquarters in Las Colinas. Carter BloodCare arrived at Harper House shortly after 9am, and by 11 were fully engaged in collecting blood from Harper House staff. Participation was quite robust as donors streamed into the collection center, set up in one of the Irving company’s conference rooms. In all, over half the company took part in the drive. According to one Carter BloodCare official, “Harper House was one of the most fun groups we’ve worked with.”

Every day, close to 800 patients in North Central and East Texas need timely blood transfusions to survive. The majority of this blood comes from blood drives organized by groups like Harper House. Harper House is no stranger to answering the call for help. The company regularly contributes to several charitable organizations, including The Red Cross, Operation Kindness, the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the American Cancer Society. Thursday’s blood drive was so successful, plans are in the works to make giving blood to Carter BloodCare a semiannual event.
