Over the past week numerous 90octane staff members headed to a Bonfils Center in Westminster to give blood. The donations were prompted by an effort to replenish blood supplies for Zach Ficco, a patient at Lafayette’s Good Samaritan Hospital who is in need of transfusions.
During this time of year supplies are especially low and donation much appreciated. As 90octaners learned, one donation can save up to three lives. Join us in giving back this holiday season. Visit www.bonfils.org to find your local donation center or blood drive location.
This month’s issue of BtoB Magazine includes a story on how 90octane helped Fortune 500 manufacturing company Gates Corporation generate leads and engage prospects through a virtual tradeshow.

The show, organized by Penton Media’s New Equipment Digest and Machine Design magazines, took place in May. Visitors browsed through the online booth to find various pieces of Gates content, such as white papers, case studies and brochures. They also participated in an online chat with Gates employees and attended a webinar, “Designing Belt Power Transmissions Systems for Energy Savings.”
