Cam Jasso’s family is urging the Belle Vernon/Rostraver Township community to donate blood in response to a nationwide shortage and a devastating setback in their 11-year-old’s fight against orbital rhabdomyosarcoma. A blood drive in Cam’s name will take place at Marion Elementary from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday. The American Red Cross is facilitating the drive.
