Deep Community Roots
|
|
When Community Blood Bank of St. Petersburg, Hunter Blood Center of Clearwater and
the Southwest Florida Blood Bank of Tampa merged in 1994 to create Florida Blood
Services, each had already served the Tampa Bay area for more than four decades.
Their organizers – dozens of business, professional and volunteer leaders –
pioneered the concept that blood banks should benefit people from all walks
of life.

FBS Foundation Provides Support
|
The FBS Foundation, which has provided philanthropic support since incorporating
in 1980, was also born of individuals' concerns for their neighbors' well-being,
tracing its roots to the William and Elizabeth Adler Fund and the James N. Patterson
Research and Education Fund.
FBS Foundation began as the Elizabeth and William Adler Charitable Foundation,
established in Clearwater in 1980, as an unrestricted endowment in support of an
adequate and safe community blood supply. The Dr. James N. Patterson Research and
Education Fund was established in 1982 in Tampa, as a restricted endowment in support
of professional education and research in the field of transfusion medicine.
