Misericordia University will host the David Evans, Jr. Memorial Blood Drive from 10 a.m. to 4 pm. on Thursday, Sept. 10, in the Huntzinger and Alden Trust Rooms, 218-219 of Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall. The blood drive is being held in memory of David A. Evans, Jr., the son of David A. Evans and Dawn M. Evans, O.T.D., O.T.R./L., assistant professor of occupational therapy at Misericordia University, and a member of the campus community for more than 20 years. In loving memory of Evans, MSOTA will assist in organizing the blood drive.Evans was 16 years old when he tragically passed away in April 2014. He was a junior at Holy Redeemer High School in Wilkes-Barre. The Misericordia University Student Government Association hosted a memorial color run in April that helped raise more than $3,000 for the David A. Evans, Jr. Scholarship Award. The fund was established by the Evans&#8217; family and friends. It awarded $1,000 scholarships in May to five members of his 2015 graduating class who plan to attend Misericordia University.In subsequent years, the fund will provide financial support annually to one graduating student from Holy Redeemer who enrolls at Misericordia.
