Blood Drive at SFSC

The OneBlood bloodmobile will be on the circle near the Tower of Enlightenment on the Highlands Campus on Monday, Jan. 29, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. All blood donors will receive a $20 e-gift card and a OneBlood long-sleeved t-shirt. Also, donors receive a wellness checkup, including blood pressure, temperature, iron count, pulse, and cholesterol screening. ID is required for the blood donation and screening.

Walk-ins are welcome; however, appointments are encouraged.

To make an appointment to donate on Jan. 29, please visit: oneblood.org/donate-now and use sponsor code 9786.

According to OneBlood, these are only a few of the many reasons to donate blood:

• Blood is needed every two seconds.
• One in three of us will need a blood transfusion.
• Approximately 41,000 units of blood are used each day in the United States.
• Since blood cannot be synthetically made, there is no substitute.
