The American Red Cross will hold a blood drive on Friday, Aug. 5, from noon to 5 p.m. at the Eden Resort and Suites, 222 Eden Road, Lancaster, in memory of Adam Mansfield.

Adam was a micro preemie, weighing 1 pound, 7 ounces. Blood donation was a crucial part of Adam's care, as he received eight blood transfusions. He passed away at Hershey Medical Center on his due date of March 18, 2020, three months after his birth.

While the Mansfield family could not have a funeral service for him due to the pandemic, the family is honoring Adam's memory with a Red Cross blood drive to help others in need. The goal is to collect 65 units of blood.
