Pamela Holz is Executive Director of the Tennessee River Chapter of American Red Cross. “We’re so excited to be here at Immaculate Conception’s Family Life Center,” Holz said. “It’s a way for us to collect much needed blood units while remembering the First Responders, and everyone who perished on 9/11. We’re so thankful for all our local First Responders who have helped us make this drive successful. They’ve done a great job of getting the word out in the community.”
