In 2021, Punta Gorda Lodge partnered with OneBlood and held six blood drives coordinated by Ambrose Yelovich, PER, lodge chaplain, who happens to be a 25 gallon, 2 pint super donor. The drives garnered 134 units of blood, which can save 402 lives. There were 226 volunteer hours donated at a value of $5,455.64 and 3,080 volunteer miles traveled at a value of $1,694. In honor of this milestone, OneBlood presented a certificate of appreciation for all the lodge donors, accepted by Yelovich.
