Help Us Help Others
Help us provide Phlebotomy training in our community!
Welcome to Gyrls In The H.O.O.D Foundation's Phlebotomy Fundraiser campaign! We are excited to continue empowering women in our community by offering free phlebotomy classes to those who are underemployed. Phlebotomy is a crucial skill in the healthcare industry, involving the safe and efficient drawing of blood for medical tests and donations.
Our first cycle was a tremendous success, with all graduates scoring 90 or higher on the state board exam! This achievement reflects the dedication and quality of our program. However, due to overwhelming demand, we have over 60 women eagerly waiting to join our next cycle.
We are reaching out for your support to raise $23,000, which will cover the costs of hosting another cycle of phlebotomy classes. Your donation will directly impact these women's lives, providing them with valuable skills and opportunities for better employment.
Join us in our mission to empower women and make a meaningful difference in our community. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal. Thank you for your generosity and support!
