Tewksbury Brownie Troop Hosts Blood Drive to Benefit Children’s Hospital and the Jimmy Fund

Tewksbury Brownie Troop 65332 will host a blood drive to benefit Boston’s Children’s Hospital and the Jimmy Fund Clinic on Tuesday, May 14 at the Tewksbury Country Club from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Mark Cashell, father of Tewksbury brownie Ashley Cashell, said the blood drive is an opportunity to donate the critical resource of blood to two great local organizations, as well as for the brownies to learn about the importance of donating blood.

"These young ladies are learning why blood drives are important and how blood works in their bodies," Cashell said. 

According to Cashell, the drive is in the memory of Christopher Barnes and is in honor of Ashley Cashell, Scottie Einarson, Lydsey Pettengill, and all the children being treated at Boston’s Children’s Hospital and the Jimmy Fund Clinic. 

The drive is also an opportunity for Brownie Troop 65332 to work on their community service, as well as earn their “Take Action” patch, according to Cashell. 

"We would just ask people to please be the start that every miracle needs and come down and donate a pint of your life giving blood," Cashell said.
