Town Square is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Thursday, September 22 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Here are 10 great reasons to donate!
You will get juice and cookies!
It’s easy and convenient. It only takes about an hour to give whole blood.
You will weigh less! One pint less than when you came in!
It’s something you can spare. Most people have blood to spare, yet there is still not enough to go around.
No one can ask you to do lifting. As long as you wear your bandage, you’re on reprieve. Wear it as long as you like. It’s a badge of honor!
You will walk a little taller afterward. Most people feel good about themselves knowing they’ve just helped save someone’s life. You will too!
You will be helping to ensure that blood is there when it’s needed. Most people don’t think they’ll ever need blood, but many do. One whole blood donation can yield up to three blood products: red cells, platelets, and plasma.
You will give a gift that costs nothing but last a lifetime. Blood is something money can’t buy. it’s only something that one person can give to another.
You will be someone’s hero! You may give a newborn, a child, a mother or father, a brother or a sister another chance at life. If fact, you can help save up to three lives with just one donation!
It’s the right thing to do!!
