This will aid in promoting relationships, friendships and building within our Fifth District chapters. We will inform, motivate and encourage Chapters in the Legendary Fifth District to follow the Districts plan and execute a District Wide Blood Drive. This project intends to also educate our Brothers and the community about the importance of blood donations in our communities and specifically how this is a vital action that is needed in the African American community.
