Blood Drive TOMORROW: Free chair massage!

Dear USM Community Members:

 

Our first American Red Cross Blood Drive will be held tomorrow, September 6th, 11 AM - 4 PM in 102 Wishcamper, Portland.  The need at summer's end is critical, and I received word this morning that there have been very few advance appointments.  Of course, you make simply walk in, but an appointment will make things more efficient. 

 

To make an appointment on line:  https://www.givelife.org/ 

Giving blood matters because: 

• Every two seconds someone in the US needs a blood transfusion…43,000 people per day.  7 in 10 of us will need a transfusion eventually.
• Only 8% of those who are eligible to do so actually donate blood. 
• Approximately 2500 units of blood are distributed to hospitals throughout northern New England each week.  
• One blood donation can help save up to three lives.

A special incentive at this drive:  FREE chair massages for donors!

 

Thanks to the USM Pre-Med Student Organization for their sponsorship of this drive!
