On February 18th, Burnsville officers Paul Elmstrand, Matthew Ruge, and paramedic Adam Finseth were killed in the line of duty. As a tribute for their sacrifice, the EPPA physicians at Southdale and Ridges ask you to join us by donating blood. This site represents a pledge to donate blood. If you make a pledge, the next step is to visit the American Red Cross to find a time and place to donate (https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive). Send a photo of yourself while donating to [email protected]. Family members and friends are welcome to participate. We will create a photo wall in the Ridges ED to give a final salute to these men who died in service to our community.
For those who also wish to make a monetary donation to benefit the families of the men, please visit:

Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
