Designates May 21st each year as "American Red Cross Minority Blood Drive Day" in Missouri

This bill designates May 21st annually as "American Red Cross Minority Blood Drive Day" in Missouri to honor Dr. Charles Richard Drew. The resolution encourages citizens to participate in blood donation activities on this day, aiming to address the critical need for diverse blood supplies and bone marrow donors, particularly for African American patients who face higher risks of sickle cell disease and difficulty finding matches. It does not change any laws or create new programs but serves as a commemorative measure to promote awareness and community involvement in blood drives.
