SIDNEY — Community Blood Center is challenging donors to “Find Your American Spirit” by giving blood at the Shelby Hills Early Childhood Center blood drive Friday, July 21, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the preschool gym, 1200 Childrens Home Road, Sidney.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “Blood Donor – Find Your American Spirit” T-shirt. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call 800-388-GIVE.
CBC has launched a new and improved version of www.DonorTime.com. Anyone visiting the site after June 14 is asked to click the link to register a new username and password
The bright red “Find Your American Spirit” features a “51-star” flag-within-a star emblem. It’s the featured patriotic theme for the month of July and is the second t-shirt design in the “Scouting for Donors Summer Blood Drive” campaign.
Everyone who registers to donate with CBC will be automatically entered in the “Scouting for Donors” drawing to win an Indian Scout Sixty motorcycle. Donors must be 18 by the Sept. 2 conclusion of the campaign to win.
Call for summer donors
Summer is a challenging time for maintaining the regional blood supply. High school summer break, family vacation travel and outdoor activities are disruptive to blood donation schedules. If you must miss an appointment to donate please reschedule as soon as possible. THE CBC especially encourage the continued support of type O whole blood donors.
