Did you know…
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
Approximately 36,000 units of red blood cells are needed every day in the U.S.
Nearly 7,000 units of platelets and 10,000 units of plasma are needed daily in the U.S.
The blood type most often requested by hospitals is type O.
A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.
Help me reach my goal and ensure that patients receive the life saving blood they need. Make and keep an appointment to give blood to the American Red Cross. On Wednesday June 21 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Montello from 10-6pm, I will host a blood drive. Come out and see me. Or, schedule to donate at a drive near you.
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
