A Pint for Kim Blood Drive, honoring Naperville mom, hopes to set records

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (WLS) -- The organizers of a weekend blood drive have big goals: They hope to set a new record in Illinois for a single-day, single-location blood drive.

The above video is from a previous report.

It's the fourth annual A Pint For Kim Blood Drive.

The event is named in honor of Kim Sandford, a Naperville mother who died of cancer. She needed more than 40 transfusions during her battle.

The blood drive is her family's way of giving back.

There will be food trucks, live bands, therapy dogs, a luxury car show, raffles and more at the drive.
