Blood Drive For Wounded Deputy To Be Held In Walnut Hill
November 3, 2010
A blood drive will be held Saturday in Walnut Hill in honor of wounded Deputy Jeremy Cassady, who was shot Friday during a home invasion hostage situation in Pensacola.
The Northwest Florida Blood Services blood drive will take place from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. during the annual Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry at the Walnut Hill Fire Station on Highway 97.
Cassady, who remains in critical condition at Sacred Heart Hospital, has used well over 200 units of blood since Friday.
Catfish and chicken plates will be sold during the event. Each $7 plate will include catfish fillets or grilled chicken, hush puppies, baked beans, cole slaw, homemade bread and dessert. There will also be door prizes, with the drawing at 1 p.m. Baked goods will also be for sale.

I would love to give blood, however, I will be out of town Saturday. I have A- blood type. Does anyone know when the next local blood drive will be in Atmore? I haven’t given blood very much this year because I never hear where or when it’s going to be.
are there any updates on Deputy Cassady?
Jeremy has 0 positive blood.
His blood type is 0- but all types are always needed.
okay, just read thr recent post…thanks
i also would like to know what blood type is needed…would like to donate on his behalf regardless, but it’d be nice to know if it’s a possiblity that i may be helping him
He is O-. But please go donate anyway. O- is universal donor and can be used by anyone needing blood. If you are O- that is the only blood you can receive. O+ is the most common blood type. All blood types are always needed. If there is a plentiful supply of the other types then the O- doesn’t have to be used for other patients. It is wonderful how everyone has come out and donated to support this officer. Reminds me of 911. What everyone needs to remember, you can donate every 8 weeks, not just during a crisis. I
Does anyone know what blood type Jeremy needs?
