Background
Please join us in supporting The American Red Cross to honor the life of Ralph Edward Lovejoy II. We ask that you consider donating blood, platelets, or monetary gifts. This mission was incredibly important to Ralph and he viewed it as a "gift of life."
Not only did Ralph start the blood drive at Sharon Presbyterian Church in Charlotte, NC, he donated blood every 58 days and was so proud to receive his 13-gallon pin the week he passed away. He pinned it to his hat to wear every day.
The note with his pin read, "Congratulations, Ralph! It's our honor to award you this milestone pin. Your 104 lifetime donations have made a true difference in the lives of others. We're proud to celebrate this achievement with you."
In Ralph's final message to his family, he told us "Always remember, what we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others can live on through eternity." Contribute
