Help save a life! Help save lives! Donate blood!!
Below are a few statistics about the constant need for blood:
**Each blood donation has the potential to save up to three lives.
**Only 38 percent of the population is eligible to give blood and only a fraction of those actually donate.
**On any given day, an average of 38,000 units of red blood cells are needed for patients in the United States.
**Because blood is perishable, new donations are needed every day.
**It is estimated that five million recipients need blood transfusions each year in the United States.
The Need is Constant.
The Gratification is Instant.
Please donate.
And "Thank you" for helping someone in need!
