🎉 What an incredible day! 🎉

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Community Blood Drive, hosted in partnership with the American Red Cross.

Because of our amazing donors, volunteers, and supporters, we surpassed our goal, collecting 23 units of blood. That’s 115% of our goal!! 👏❤️

✨ Drive Highlights:
🩸 23 units collected
❤️ Potential to help save 69 lives
🙌 24 donors
🌟 4 first-time blood donors
👕 Every donor went home with a limited-edition Looney Tunes Red Cross T-shirt!

We’re so grateful to everyone who took the time to donate, volunteer, help spread the word, and to PublicHousehub for hosting the blood bus. Your generosity makes a real difference in our community.

This was such a wonderful partnership with the American Red Cross, and we’re already looking forward to hosting more blood drives together in the future. Keep an eye on our page for announcements about the next opportunity to give!

Together, we’re building a healthier, stronger community, one donation at a time. ❤️

🍌 That's a wrap on Banana Pen! Thank you to everyone who parked a bike, bag, or stroller with us for two sold-out shows at Autzen Stadium! When CLF Network members and guests weren't hanging bikes, parking strollers, or swapping out purses for clear bags, we enjoyed some delicious catered food courtesy of Texas Roadhouse! Texas Roadhouse will be catering our home football games this fall, and we're so grateful for their partnership, ensuring our volunteers are well fed. Plus, we're always happy to have more friends hanging out with us for the best tailgate in town! And as always, Main St Coffee Co kept us well caffeinated and fed for Sunday's event.

Stop by our Game Night with CLF Network! on Thursday to meet new friends and learn more about what we do!

This past weekend, CLF Network’s newly elected board for the second half of 2026 got together to brainstorm ideas and goals for the upcoming term! We’re so grateful to City of Eugene Recreation for hosting our board at one of their spaces, and we were kept energized with the delicious food from Big Town Hero. Thank you to these local community hubs for supporting CLF Network’s ongoing work; we appreciate you. ⭐️

Over the 4-hour session, board members shared goals, ideas, responsibilities, and more to continue pursuing our mission of enriching the lives of underserved youth in Lane County. There was a buzz of excitement in the room, and a shared passion for supporting this organization, our members, and our community to the fullest extent. We’ve got some exciting things planned, and we can’t wait to get started! 🐝

In the meantime, stop by the Picnic & Potluck Dinner Meeting with CLF Network! to celebrate our last general meeting of the term! Bring your own snacks, drinks, lawn games, and friends to this free event, tonight at Alton Baker Park at 6pm.
