Platelets are blood cells necessary for clotting.
The Sports Clubs' effort was overseen by Steve Bradley, Sports Clubs coordinator in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science. Josh Troop, who oversees the UNC Hospitals Platelet Donor Program with Tom Appenheimer, was grateful for Sports Clubs' contribution. He has an exceptional ability to work with each of the students within his organization. This campaign would not have happened if it wasn't for Steve's complete support and hands-on participation. The platelet donor program was started a little more than two years ago to provide a local and reliable supply of these vital blood products for the most-ill patients at UNC Hospitals.
