The event is named in honor of Kim Sandford, a Naperville mother who died of cancer.
The now-annual blood drive is named in honor of Kristyn Benedyk's sister, Kim. It began in 2020, when Kim Sandford, a wife and mother of two boys, was battling a cancer so rare that her case was one in 10 million. At times, Kim needed dozens of blood and plasma transfusions, which inspired her family to start "#APintForKim."
But, Kim's wish was to have the blood drive continue, and hundreds turned out. This year, A Pint for Kim will take place at Naperville North High School, where Kim's sons now attend school. So, this weekend, just before Mother's Day, Kim's legacy will live on in urging others to continue giving the gift of life.
