On October 21, 2017, we had our fifth annual “Cartoonists Draw Blood” blood drive event with the American Red Cross. The event started in 2013 and has been going strong since!<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span>This year we had a change of location because we wanted to be able to do the drive in advance of Halloween (to go with our theme) and there were some logistic date issues early on, but we were able to be hooked up with Palisades Community Church in Washington, DC for this year’s event — and everything worked out great. Thanks to Troy-Jeffery Allen for co-chairing the event with me!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks to all the cartoonists who donated their time and talents:\u00a0Steve Artley, Carolyn Belefski, and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Joe Sutliff were drawing during the full blood drive.\u00a0Art Hondros and\u00a0<\/span>Eric Gordon came to draw for donors during the second half of the drive. We were also able to showcase our first anthology, Trick or Treat<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n
