Darke County Blood Drives for October
“My Compassion” theme for Cancer Awareness Month
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Honor October Breast Cancer Awareness Month by
donating at any Darke County community blood drive listed below.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “My Compassion
Defines Me. I Donate Blood to Fight Cancer” t-shirt. Make an
appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call (937) 461-3220.
The “My Compassion Defines Me” t-shirt is the final design in the
Lifesaving Adventure Blood Drive campaign. Register to donate with
Community Blood Center now through Nov. 2 to be automatically entered
in the drawing for the YETI Adventure Package, which includes a Tundra
Cooler, Base Camp chairs and 27 genuine YETI accessories.
Platelets and plasma are vitally important for the treatment of cancer
patients, as well as trauma, transplant, and burn patients. Many CBC
community blood drives now include the opportunity to donate platelets
and plasma. Donors are in high demand, especially blood types A, AB, or
B positive. Find out more at www.GivingBlood.org or talk to an
apheresis specialist at (937) 461-3220.
