Blood Drive - URGENT NEED! Red Cross - Village of Brooklyn Heights, Ohio

8/28/2014

Brooklyn Heights will be hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive on Thursday, August 28th. Please plan to come to the Community Center at the corner of Schaaf Road and Tuxedo Avenue between 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Shortages in life-saving blood often occur during the summer months. Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. There is currently a shortage and an URGENT NEED for blood donations.

Come to donate blood and receive a coupon for $10 off Cedar Point admission and an American Red Cross t-shirt honoring those who serve! (while supplies last) 

The average red blood cell transfusion is approximately 3 pints.

The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.

More than 1.6 million people were diagnosed with cancer last year. Many of them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment.

A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.
