The Monsters Blood Donor Awareness Night is a cause spearheaded by Kathleen Vogelhuber, wife of Head Coach Trent Vogelhuber, after witnessing her brother’s life saved due to blood transfusions.

In conjunction with the night, truenorth Convenience Stores will donate $150 per save to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to support Student Visionaries of the Year. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the world’s largest nonprofit health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services.
