"Zoey always had a smile on her face, even on her worst days."Collage of photos from Smile Like Zoey Blood Drives

Zoey Carney lost her battle with pediatric cancer in November of 2024. Now her family, Mom & Dad are part of the Deere community, honors that smile by hosting blood drives to make sure pediatric cancer patients have access to the blood products they need to keep up the fight.
