The Columbus Coalition of Reason regularly holds blood donation events at the Carriage Place Red Cross Donor Center in Columbus, Ohio. Some donors give 1 unit of whole blood while others do apheresis donating up to 3 units of platelets (and up to 2 units of plasma) or 2 units of red blood cells. Events are planned for Third Thursdays in January, March, May, July, September and November. We have to forgo having dinner together during the Covid-19 quarantine and may be donating at different locations on different days. The Red Cross helps us stay safe by requiring use of hand sanitizer at the door and facemasks. Donors do not sit at the same table afterward. Currently, these events are not as fun as when we can socialize together, but they are more meaningful. We look forward to the end of the pandemic so that we can resume dining together after donating. We are proud that we have continued to provide this "essential service" during the pandemic. NOTE: CURRENTLY YOU MUST SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE VIA CALLING OR ONLINE! To ensure physical distancing, walk in donors are not allowed during the quarantine. Please call 1-800-Red-Cross (1-800-733-2767) or sign up at https://www.redcross.org/ to schedule your appointment.

The Adaptive Sports Connection (ASC), a chapter of Disabled Sports USA, helps Ohio veterans, children, and adults who need adaptive equipment or instruction to participate in various sports including skiing, kayaking and cycling. ASC maintains a substantial fleet of adaptive sit-down and standup equipment for novice skiers and snowboarders with various capabilities. Trained Winter Sports Volunteers assist certified lead instructors in giving 2-3 hour lessons to students with various handicaps.

Students may be accompanied by a friend or family member who will learn how to assist with getting on and off lifts so that students can ski or snowboard without instructors. Two COUNT members helped teach lessons and attended clinics for volunteer skills development. 8 COUNT volunteers have worked 337.5 hours at 36 ASC Winter Sports events divided between training, lessons with students and clinics.
