SPONSOR NAME HOLDS COMMUNITY BLOOD DRIVE TO HELP BOOST REGIONAL BLOOD SUPPLY

It can be done on the way to work, before dinner at your favorite restaurant or in between errands; yet only five percent of the eligible population currently gives blood. In an effort to increase the regional blood supply, SPONSOR NAME will hold a community blood drive with the American Red Cross. The drive will be held on DATE from TIME at LOCATION.

The statistics are clear. About every two seconds, someone in America needs blood. Every day, 34,000 donations are needed in the United States to help save the lives of cancer patients, accident victims, children with blood disorders among others. This affects every member of our community, where they work, live and play, whether it's a friend, family or neighbor who needs blood. Just one pint of blood can help save as many as three lives.

To make an appointment to give blood, call 1-800-GIVE LIFE or visit www.DonateBloodNow.org/DonateBlood and click on the appropriate county to locate the blood drive. .
