Sign up now to donate blood at the 10th Annual Mark Vasquez Memorial Blood Drive which will be held on Friday May 21, 2021, and Saturday May 22, 2021 from 10AM to 4PM at the Joslyn Center (1601 Valley Drive). Those interested in signing up to donate blood should visit www.redcrossblood.org and use the sponsor code MarkVasquez. Mark Vasquez joined Manhattan Beach Police Department in 2005 and worked in patrol until he was diagnosed with a type of blood cancer, Multiple Myelom...a, in 2007. Officer Vasquez’ battle against his cancer was valiant and at times, when he was able to return to work, he said he felt like Superman. His fellow officers quickly nicknamed Officer Vasquez Superman and held many fundraisers and events in support of their hero. However, the Manhattan Beach Police Department lost their Superman on May 15, 2011 which is also National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. Come join us at the annual blood drive - your donation could save a life! See more
