💚🩸 A legacy of service. A statewide opportunity to give. 🩸💚
Dale Dobson dedicated his career to making Kentucky agriculture safer. During his time as Director, Kentucky saw a decrease in on farm deaths, about 56 on average 20 years ago, to less than 12 on average now. He revolutionized farm safety through prevention, farmer health through physical and mental interventions, and farm rescue through statewide trainings and development of new rescue techniques and tools. This September, Kentucky students can honor that legacy in a powerful way: by giving back.
As part of All In for Ag Education Week and Farm Safety Week, high school student leadership clubs, organizations, and teams are invited to host a Dale Dobson Annual Blood Drive at their school between September 1–22. Many times on farm accidents involve considerable blood loss, which makes blood donation even more important. You can help!
We’re asking high school leaders across Kentucky to step up, roll up their sleeves, and help us create a statewide impact in honor of Dale Dobson and the incredible difference he has made in Kentucky agriculture. Here's how:
📅 Host a Dale Dobson Blood Drive during these days: September 1–22
