Connie Tuley and her late son Craig, who served on the SunCoast Blood Centers Board of Directors, were passionate advocates for SunCoast Blood Centers, dedicating their time and efforts to promote the vital cause of blood donation. Sadly, Connie has recently passed away, joining her son Craig, who left us five years ago. Their commitment to saving lives through blood donation continues to inspire our community.
To honor Connie’s memory and carry on her legacy, the Tuley family has requested that in lieu of flowers, supporters make blood or financial donations to SunCoast Blood Centers. This thoughtful gesture embodies the spirit of generosity that Connie and Craig championed throughout their lives.
If you wish to pay tribute to Connie’s memory, we encourage you to visit one of our donor locations in Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, or Port Charlotte. When you arrive, please inform our reception desk employee that you’re donating in honor of Connie Tuley. This will allow us to document your contribution and inform the family of the impact Connie continues to have on our community.
For those unable to donate blood but still wishing to contribute, financial donations to SunCoast Blood Centers are also welcome. These funds help support our ongoing efforts to maintain a stable blood supply for our local hospitals and patients in need.
Connie and Craig Tuley’s dedication to blood donation has touched countless lives. Let’s come together as a community to honor their memory and continue their important work. Your donation, whether of blood or funds, will help ensure that their legacy of saving lives lives on.
To schedule an appointment or learn more about donation eligibility, please visit our website or call our donor center. Together, we can keep Connie and Craig’s spirit of generosity alive and make a real difference in our community.
