2012 Red Cross Blood Drives

2012 RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES SCHEDULED IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY (see schedule below)

Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. That's a lot of blood. But only 5% of the eligible US population donates blood in any given year. Healthy donors are the only source of blood. Currently there is no substitute.

Blood is needed for emergencies and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell anemia and other illnesses. Some people need regular blood transfusions to live.

Imagine if giving blood was part of everyone's life. Something you did on a regular basis, like eating at your favorite restaurant. What kind of difference would that make? For nearly 5 million people who receive blood transfusions every year, your donation can make the difference between life and death.

Giving blood is simple and convenient; here are the Top 5 Reasons to give:

• You will get free juice and cookies.
• You will be someone's hero.
• It's something you can spare.
• Nobody can ask you to do any heavy lifting as long as you have the bandage on.
• You will weigh less (one pint less) when you leave than when you came in.
