Severe winter weather, as we have personally experienced, can often lead to widespread blood drive cancellations. The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage because the supply of blood has dropped about 35% over the past month as hospital requests outpaced donations. Your blood donation is urgently needed to help end the shortage & ensure lifesaving patient care isn’t delayed.

Be the lifesaving difference this January and make an appointment to give at our winter blood drive on Tuesday, February 10, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in the Smith Health Sciences building room 205 on the Davidson Campus.

Those who come to give will receive a $20 e-gift card to a merchant of choice. See RedCrossBlood.org/Heart for details.
