Darke County January Blood Drives
Be ‘Donor Strong’ for January Blood Donor Month
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Celebrate January Ohio Blood Donor Awareness Month
by donating at a Darke County community blood drive. Everyone who
registers to donate will receive the special edition “Donor Strong”
long-sleeve t-shirt. Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or
call (937) 461-3220.
The first goal of Blood Donor Awareness Month is to boost the blood
supply after the long holiday period. CBC is also announcing
strategic goals for 2020 that include:
Increasing donations to provide blood to more hospitals outside our
traditional 15-county service area. CBC must expand its hospital
partnerships to remain viable in the blood industry and to continue
serving the Miami Valley region.
Recruiting new platelet and plasma donors, and double red blood cell donors.
Use the spirit of the Dayton Strong movement to inspire more blood
donors and engage more blood drive sponsors, especially in the downtown
Dayton community.
The white, long-sleeve t-shirt with red “Donor Strong” lettering is a
gift to everyone who registers to donate Jan. 4 through Feb. 29.
