Blood drive Oct. 21 at Pattonsburg High School
Last year, 28,000 individuals in our area needed a blood transfusion. This year, the local needs for blood are expected to rise. Community Blood Center, the provider of blood services to local hospitals, will be conducting a blood drive from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21, at Pattonsburg High School cafeteria to help the local hospital patients in our area that depend on life saving blood donations. The blood drive is sponsored by the Pattonsburg FFA and National Honor Society.
To sign up, please call Amy Holder or Sally Sparks at 660-367-2111, ext. 294. Just one donation can help as many as two local hospital patients. Community Blood Center must collect at least 550 pints of blood every day to meet the needs of our area. Cholesterol testing is done on all donations.
All donors will receive a “Be A Hero-Donate Blood” wristband. Donors have a chance to enter the drawing for an ipod shuffle.
