Give Blood. Give Life.

No, it isn't Halloween yet! This months Giving Back activity is a repeat, but a much needed one. We've given our time, our hearts, our money, and again this month, we're asking you to give your BLOOD!

We will be hosting a Blood Drive on Wednesday, July 21st from 1-6pm at the EnSite Offices in Millard. If you are unable to give, please recruit at least 1 other person in your place. Our goal is to collect 37 units through the blood drive.

To sign up, go to http://bit.ly/9wKaaQ or  www.givebloodgivelife.org and click "Donate Blood" in the top right hand corner. Search for Sponsor Code 2356 or enter area code 68137. Please do not delay in signing up - we can only host this if we have enough donors!

Why Give? A few responses:

• It's a way I can help others.
• My mother received over 83 units through 6 months of treatment ; I want the same for others.
• I may need it someday; I hope others will do the same.
• Its the right thing to do.

On average, every cancer patient received 50 units of blood. (This will be 3 times more for a leukemia patient.) Each donation can potentially help 3 people - the unit collected is seperated into platelets, plasma & blood.
