The Central PA Blood Bank’s Community Blood Drive is planned at Fairmount for Thursday, December 5, from 11:30am to 6:30pm. Registration for the blood drive will be held inside the Farm Crest Community Room at 1100 Farm Crest Drive on the east side of the Fairmount campus. You may schedule an appointment by calling 1.800.771.0059. Walk-ins are welcome until 6pm, but scheduled appointments will be given priority. Please bring a photo ID with you when you come to donate.
All donors will receive a certificate for a $10 gift card at any Good’s Store, 2 free admission vouchers to the Pennsylvania Auto Show, certificate for a free appetizer from Texas Roadhouse, Penn Cinema movie pass, and a blood donor t-shirt.
Please take this opportunity to donate blood. Since there is no substitute for human blood, and donors are the only source, this is a wonderful gift to those in need from all walks of life. Every two seconds, someone needs blood, and the demand for blood continues to increase. In Central Pennsylvania, 275 to 300 units of blood and blood products are needed at area hospitals daily. An adequate supply is crucial to the survival of cancer patients, accident victims, children with blood disorders, and many others. Your donation helps to save and enhance the lives of these people, as just one pint of your blood can save as many as three lives.
