New Donor Center Will Attract More Pasadena Residents to Help Save Lives

Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center has an eye-catching new location in Pasadena aimed at attracting more blood donors to Commit for Life and providing additional comfort for those who helped save lives at the center’s previous location.

The new Pasadena Neighborhood Donor Center opened its doors on Oct. 29 and celebrated its official grand opening on Tuesday, Dec. 4. The donor center is located in a busy shopping area at 5124 Fairmont Parkway, between Ashley Furniture and J.C. Penney. It is both more visible and, at more than 4,000 square feet, larger than its former space.

“This location is very convenient to people who come to south Pasadena for business, shopping and dining,” says Brian Gannon, president and CEO of Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. “Additionally, the location off Beltway 8 grants easy access for people from Deer Park, La Porte, Baytown or Channelview to donate here.”

More than 70 individuals representing the local business community, the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and longtime donors attended the grand-opening celebration, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the occasion. Mayor Jack Douglass issued a proclamation declaring Dec. 4, 2007, Commit for Life Day in Pasadena, Texas.

Manager Krystil Walker and the staff from the previous location will continue to serve Pasadena donors at the new center. For hours of operation or to schedule your donation at the Pasadena Neighborhood Donor Center, visit www.giveblood.org or call the donor center at (281) 487-1055
