Won’t you please donate blood on Wednesday, February 7th between 12 noon and 6 PM in the MPR at the WT Elementary School? We only have 50 people signed up with 118 openings available! For every pint that is collected up to three lives can be saved!
The national blood supply remains at critically low levels. Blood drives have been canceled in nearly every state where the Red Cross collects blood. As a result, nearly 15,000 blood and platelet donations have gone uncollected this month alone. In addition to dangerous road conditions, many Americans have dealt with flight and shipping delays, and the Red Cross is no different. Snow, ice, and extreme temperatures have made it tougher to move vital blood products across the Red Cross network, affecting deliveries to hospitals in some locations.
The nation is currently facing the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years. When fewer people donate blood, any disruption to blood donations – like recent weather systems – can have a huge effect on the availability of blood products and dramatic consequences for those in need of emergency blood transfusion. Generous blood donors are vital to ensuring those in need of transfusions have access to lifesaving care.”
All donors receive a $20 Amazon gift card, plus your contribution helps us get three scholarships for our students. The more donors we have, the larger the scholarships are. Students who donate at least 3 times before they graduate get a Red Cross Cord to wear with their cap and gown to distinguish their generous unselfish hearts. PLEASE sign up below! Be a hero!
