Be a hero! Donate blood on Sunday, February 5 at Temple Kol Ami during our blood drive from 8AM to 1PM.
Did you know …
- Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood.
- Nearly 7,000 units of platelets and 10,000 units of plasma are needed each day.
- Although an estimated 38% of Americans are eligible to give blood, less than 10% of the population actually does
- The blood donation process is safe and sterile. Each donor is given a mini-physical, checking the donor’s temperature, blood pressure, pulse and hemoglobin to ensure it is safe for the donor to give blood.
Your donation is needed: you could save a life. All who generously decide to donate will receive light refreshments (and a big high five from our event organizer, Susan Guzman!)
The entire process, including registration, medical history, mini-physical, donation and refreshments takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. (FYI – the actual blood donation typically takes 10-12 minutes.) Donors may save time by completing a RapidPass on the day of donation at www.redcrossblood.org/rapidpass.
Please reserve your donation appointment by RSVPing to Susan Guzman at sutyguz@gmail.com or call Temple Kol Ami at 480-951-9660. Thank you for being a blood donor!
The speaker will be announced following the November elections.
