Thank you to Dean Maki for achieving an incredible milestone—his 1,000th blood donation at the Upper Peninsula Regional Blood Center (UPRBC)! As a former sergeant in the Army National Guard, ET2 in the U.S. Navy, and a former corrections officer at the Marquette Branch Prison, Dean exemplifies dedication and service. Now, he's saving lives in a different way. Each donation has the power to save up to three lives—whether it’s helping a cancer patient, aiding a car accident victim or supporting a mother during a traumatic birth. And the best part? All donations made at the UPRBC stay right here in the Upper Peninsula, helping our family, friends and neighbors in need. Join Dean in making a difference!
