Giving back was always important to Dad; one way he did this throughout his life was by donating blood. This virtual blood drive not only commemorates what would have been his 88th birthday (1/7/38), honoring his memory, but more importantly will do so with a positive impact.

Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood or platelets. One blood donation can help save up to three lives. These vital fluids can help cancer patients, accident victims, and those suffering from a number of other conditions. It is likely someone you know has or will need this help.

Although approximately 62% of the population is eligible to donate only 3% actually do creating a constant need.

A powerful recipient testimonial – “I’ll never forget the feeling of gratitude that washed over me when I saw those platelets going into my husband’s body. I imagined the faces of many different strangers, taking time out of their day… their jobs… their families… their lives… to sit in a chair and give part of themselves away, simply because it is a good thing to do for another human being. A stranger.”

Please consider being that stranger and lending an arm for Arnie!
