Donors get on
board with Bradford Fire & Rescue Blood Drive
The Bradford Fire & Rescue Services will sponsor a blood drive
Monday, June 15 from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with the chance to win a
deluxe Hawaii vacation for two. The blood drive will be in the Bradford
High School auditorium, 750 Railroad Ave. Everyone who registers to
donate will receive a free “Donor Surf Co.” surfboard t-shirt and
everyone age 18 and older will also be entered in the Community Blood
Center (CBC) “Get on Board – Give Blood Summer Blood Drive” drawing to
win an expense-paid Hawaii vacation. Donors are encouraged to
schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call
1-800-388-GIVE.
The grand prize includes air travel and deluxe accommodations for eight
nights at two island locations. All taxes, fees and meals are
included. The vacation package also includes pre-paid activities
and sight-seeing excursions, plus all ground transportation.
Everyone age 18 and older who registers to donate with CBC from May 4
through Aug. 28 will be automatically entered in the “Get on Board –
Give Blood Summer Blood Drive” drawing. REACH magazine is the
media sponsor. Eligible donors can 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.
Anyone who registers to donate Monday, June 15 through Saturday, July
25 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives will
receive CBC’s second special-edition, Hawaiian surf board design
t-shirt of the summer. The “Donor Surf Co.” t-shirt is bright
blue with a colorful surfboard and island floral design, plus the CBC
blood drop and the slogan “Drop In, Lei Back, & Donate.”
Maintaining the blood supply can be challenging during the summer
months due to vacation travel and other changes in schedules. If
you have to miss an appointment, CBC encourages you to reschedule when
you are able. We especially encourage the continued support of
type O whole blood donors and type A/B platelet and plasma donors.
