Rolling Up Our Sleeves: BSK’s Commitment to Saving Lives Through Our Annual Blood Drive

At BSK Associates, giving back isn’t just part of what we do – it’s part of who we are. One of the most impactful ways we serve our communities is through our Annual Blood Drive, a long-standing tradition that brings our team together to help save lives.

Each year, our employees step away from their desks and job sites to roll up their sleeves in partnership with the Central California Blood Center. It’s a simple but powerful act of service that reflects our ongoing mission to make a positive impact where we live and work.

A Tradition of Compassion and Community

Our blood drives span many years and reflect a deeply rooted culture of generosity. From the beginning, these events have united our team around a shared goal: to support our local community in a life-saving way.

Over time, participation has grown—thanks to returning donors, new faces, and the enthusiastic support of our internal champions who help plan and organize each event. What started as a service initiative and has become a celebration of teamwork, compassion, and connection.

We’ve also proudly contributed financial donations to the Central California Blood Center, further reinforcing our commitment beyond blood donations alone.

2025: Continuing the Legacy

This year’s Annual BSK Blood Drive takes place on Friday, August 8th at our Fresno office (691 N. Laverne Ave.) from 10 AM to 1 PM. More than tradition, the event reflects our shared values of care and community support.

We’re especially excited to introduce a new thank-you for donors: “Donate a pint, get a pint!” For the first time, participants will receive a free pint of ice cream from Umpqua Dairy as a sweet reward for their life-saving generosity. It’s a fun twist that we hope encourages even more people to join us.

Whether you’re a long-time donor or considering it for the first time, we invite you to be part of this meaningful tradition.

More Than Just a Blood Drive

BSK’s commitment to community goes well beyond this annual event. From supporting local education to environmental efforts and industry outreach, we believe in creating opportunities for employees to make a difference. Our approach includes:

  • Encouraging individual volunteerism
  • Supporting office-level initiatives like food drives and clean-ups
  • Organizing firm-wide events—like our blood drive—that have a broader impact

These efforts not only benefit our communities – they strengthen our workplace culture and remind us why our work matters.

Looking Ahead

We’re proud to continue this life-saving tradition and are grateful to everyone who helps make it a success. We hope to see even more first-time donors this year and, in the years, to come.

If you’re unable to attend, we encourage you to visit your local blood center—because one donation really can save up to three lives.
