Michael and Laurie Lien
Hello wonderful SaddleBrooke blood donors. Michael and I hope you are having a great summer. Our last blood drive in May was another incredible success. We are increasing our donations every blood drive with May being a record 87 units. Our next blood drive will be Aug. 13 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at MountainView Ballroom. As always in the summer, many of our donors are gone from SaddleBrooke. We need each person who is willing to give sign up for this drive to keep those great donation numbers up.
As a blood donor, you do something extraordinary with each donation. You give families hope. You give patients courage. And you give those who need it most, life. Donors like you make all the difference. That is why your donation for this drive is more important than ever. The need for blood is constant, and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds, and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
To schedule your appointment, please go to redcrossblood.org or call 800-733-2767. Also, you can start the donation process before leaving home by completing Rapid Pass online pre-donation and health history questionnaire from your mobile device or Blood Donor App on the day of your appointment. You can save up to 15 minutes. Learn more at redcrossblood.org/rapidpass. We hope to see you all.
