Schedule Your Donation in Katie's Memory at the 10th Annual Kind Like Katie Blood Drive

On May 3, 2015, our 16 year old daughter Katherine Fairchild tragically died in a car accident while on her way to babysit. During her time in Girl Scouts, Katie learned the value of blood donations. She provided years of childcare services during Holy Family blood drives so moms and dads could donate. She was looking forward to donating blood herself for the first time.

Unfortunately, it was scheduled just 3 days after her death. She was given many pints of blood after the accident. We still had to say goodbye to her, but blood donations were essential to her final moments. —Parents, Kristina and David Fairchild
