CBC’s ’50
Years’ blood drives
DAYTON & Darke County, Ohio – Darke County will have several
community, company, and school blood drives in September. These
blood drives will help honor Community Blood Center’s (CBC) 50th
anniversary as the region’s first central blood bank. The blood drives
come as CBC celebrates its founding on Sept. 14, 1964. Everyone who
registers to donate will receive a special edition “Celebrating 50
Years of Saving Lives” t-shirt. Donors are encouraged to schedule an
appointment at www.DonorTime.com. Locally you can contact Dana
Puterbaugh, CBC Account Representative at 937-997-2199 or
dputerbaugh@givingblood.org.
The 50th anniversary t-shirt features the “50 Years of Saving Lives”
logo on a gold shield with a red and white stripe across a blue
background. It’s free to everyone who registers to donate now
through Sept. 30 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood
drives.
A new era in patient care began Sept. 14, 1964 when CBC opened the
doors to its new home in the basement of the Fidelity Medical Building
in downtown Dayton. Mrs. Barbara Bartley of Dayton was the first of six
donors that day. CBC now supplies blood to 25 partner hospitals in its
15-country region with the standard goal of registering at least 300
donors per day.
CBC is also marking its milestone year with the special “Summer
Cruze-In 2014 Blood Drive.” The grand prize Chevrolet Cruze is
“champagne silver” as a toast to CBC’s 50th anniversary. Everyone
age 18 and older who registers to donate at any CBC Donor Center or CBC
mobile blood drive May 30 through Sept. 30 will be automatically
entered in the drawing to win the 2014 Chevy Cruze.
CBC has extended its traditional summer blood drive campaign to four
months (May 30 through Sept. 30) and is also allowing eligible donors
to enter the drawing a second time when they register for a second
donation during the blood drive period. Official rules are available at
www.givingblood.org.
