When it comes to favorite breakfast treats, pancakes — stacked high with syrup or just piled plain — often rank high on the list. At the MGH Blood Donor Center's pancake breakfast May 29, the pancakes did more than fill some hungry stomachs; they also helped in the fight to save lives through blood donation.

Center employees doubled as amateur chefs, manning griddles throughout the morning to provide blood donors with a tasty plateful. BJ's Wholesale donated pancake mix and syrup for the event.

The breakfast was the first of several MGH Blood Donor Center activities scheduled for the summer. Stay tuned to future issues of Hotline for details.

The MGH Blood Donor Center is located in the Gray Lobby. For more information or to make an appointment to donate, call (617) 726-8177.
