Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the start of summer fun and blood shortages in the Pacific Northwest. Vacation travel, outdoor activities, and increased blood usage in local emergency rooms impact everyone. As the weather gets nicer, fewer people are making time to donate blood. At the same time, our hospitals are seeing an upturn in accidents and injuries that require lifesaving transfusions. Make an extra effort to give blood this month, and invite a friend or two to join you, so we’re always ready with a safe and reliable blood supply to meet the healthcare needs of our community. Every pint makes a difference. Schedule your next donation today.
As a thank you, when you donate blood in April or May, you can have a chance to win airfare for two + a 3-night ocean-view stay at Oahu’s Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort. Schedule your appointment and submit your entry at www.bloodworksnw.org/win.
Wherever you donate, be sure to let Bloodworks know you are donating with Rotary District 5030 or provide the code “5030” when you arrive to donate to count toward our cumulative impact!
