Summertime Blood Drives Save Lives

A woman smiles while preparing to give blood

For the American Red Cross, summer can be a difficult season for blood drives - especially in a college town like Columbia, where many donating students leave once school lets out.

That's just part of the reason Socket is happy to host a Red Cross blood drive in our headquarters every summer.

Today's blood drive had 22 people volunteer to donate, with 16 units of blood collected. Every donation can save up to three lives, so every pint matters!

Socket Sponsors Summerfest 2015!

Socket and other fans rocked out to Mat Kearney and Judah at The Lion at the 9th Street Summerfest on Wednesday, May 20. Socket is a proud supporter of the Summerfest Concert Series.

The scattered storms forced the concert inside The Blue Note but that didn’t prevent anyone from having a great time. Plus, Socket was able to brighten the days of three lucky winners, who got VIP upgrades at the show! The upgrades moved these fans to the upper balcony where they had a better view (and more elbow room!), as well as free Jimmy John’s sandwiches and free beer! Not a bad deal!
