Blood Drive
at Elkhart Christian Church on Thursday
Send a link to a friend
[February 05, 2008]
SPRINGFIELD -- Because
Valentine's Day provides people a chance to remember the people they
love, Central Illinois Community Blood Center believes it's an
appropriate time to remember to donate blood for your friends,
neighbors and family. It’s the blood on the shelf that saves lives.
Please don’t wait until someone you love needs blood. It takes 24-48
hours to process blood, and that might be too long for the person
you love.
|
To help ensure an adequate blood supply for area
hospitals, there will be a blood drive Thursday at Elkhart Christian
Church, 113 S. Gillett in Elkhart. The hours of the blood drive are
2-6 p.m. For your convenience, please call Lucille Brewer to sign up
at 947-2702 or schedule an appointment online at
www.cicbc.org.
Walk-ins are also welcome and truly appreciated.The 2007-2008
Springfield Clinic High School Blood Challenge started May 12, 2007,
and ends May 11, 2008. Donate blood at this drive and ask that your
donation be credited to Mount Pulaski High School or a participating
high school in your community. The high school that wins the
challenge will receive a $1,000 college scholarship from Springfield
Clinic to award to a graduating senior who plans on furthering his
or her education.
