The Scarborough Fire and Police Departments will host a blood drive on Saturday, Dec. 29, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in honor of Madison Charland, the niece of a Scarborough firefighter.
Madison, now cancer-free, was diagnosed with cancer as an infant two years ago. During her treatment, she relied on blood and platelet transfusions.
Maine Children’s Cancer Program is a co-sponsor of the drive.
The drive will take place at the Public Safety Building on Route 1. To sign up, go to redcrossblood.org.
