The Mac McClure Legacy Award was created in 2016 by the Community Leadership Council (CLC) to honor an organization for outstanding service to United Blood Services (UBS). It is named for Mac McClure for his significant contribution to UBS and the community blood program. Mac served as the president of Flights for Life and flew 887 missions as a volunteer pilot transporting blood for Arizona patients.
