We’re enjoying another summer of the Donate Life Challenge here at Unyts, and couldn’t be more excited about the competition this summer!
Each week we’re highlighting some of our partners in this years challenge, those businesses and corporations that made this event possible. While HSBC has been a big supporter of the Unyts mission for several years, much of the credit for blood drive success is because of Linda Coplai, Premier Relationship Banker at the HSBC Atrium.
Linda Coplai has managed several departments and has taught various courses through the Center for Financial Training. It has allowed her to interact and network with various teams and employees. Linda has leveraged those relationships to blood drive participation, and educates colleagues on the importance of organ, eye, tissue and blood donation.
Optimism is contagious. Through the support of local vendors, HSBC has procured donations raffled off at every drive. This allows the vendors the ability to “advertise” while simultaneously advertising the blood drive to the public. HSBC goes a long way in thanking all of those who donate blood.
HSBC continues to take part in the Donate Life Challenge because of the invaluable work being done at Unyts on a daily basis. One donation can save up to 3 lives.
None of this could be possible without the help of management. Linda Coplai says, “Management is needed to make sure things are done correctly. However; leadership is needed to make sure we are “doing the right thing”. When an opportunity presents itself that supports not only the community, but people’s inclination to “do the right thing”, it is an incredible gift that benefits us all. You have the ability to GIVE LIFE”!
