If you were fortunate enough to know Kim Salvesen, you know that she was an absolutely incredible human and she shined her giant light into so many lives in the Gorge. As Kim battled cancer, she relied on blood transfusions and when one of her friends asked how they could help her, she wanted to put together a blood drive to help overcome the blood shortage. This event was planned before her passing and she was so excited about it and in honor of her it's being called "Salvesen's Sweethearts...Always Give from the Heart!" Please join us to honor Kim and help others fighting health issues by donating blood.
