The American Red Cross is calling on all eligible blood donors to roll up a sleeve and help save a life by making an appointment to donate blood. During the summer, when blood donations tend to slow, eligible blood donors are needed even more. Giving one hour of your time can give patients extra days, months or even years with their family and friends. To a patient, time is everything – time to laugh, time to live and time to love.
Live Life. Give Life.
Presenting donors between May 21 and September 5, 2012 will be entered automatically into the Live Life. Give Life. summer promotion and the chance to win prize packages to GiftCertificates.com. Visit redcrossblood.org/GiveWin to learn more.
The need is constant. The simple act of donating blood can bring hope for patients in need and their families. All blood types are needed, but especially O positive, O negative, B negative and A negative in order to meet patient demand. Please schedule an appointment to donate blood today.
The American Red Cross’ Live Life. Give Life. summer long campaign is helping to raise awareness about the constant need for blood and encourage regular donations. Visit redcrossblood.org/GiveWin to learn more.
