MARCH ROARS IN WITH ST. PATRICK’S DAY CAMPAIGN

T-SHIRT WILL BE A LUCKY CHARM FOR CBC BLOOD DONORS

March is no ordinary month for Community Blood Center (CBC) donors. March Madness basketball holds court all month, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations go all day, and your luck may never run out when you give the gift of life and take home a charmed shamrock t-shirt.

Beginning Monday, Feb. 27 through Saturday, March 17 everyone who registers to donate blood at all CBC branches and most CBC blood drives will receive a black “Blood Donor” t-shirt featuring a green shamrock, the national emblem of Ireland in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17.

Spring arrives March 20 but sometimes Old Man Winter doesn’t get the message. Bad weather can disrupt blood drive schedules, but CBC rarely closes. Donors can support CBC by calling a CBC branch or visiting www.givingblood.com with questions about eligibility, schedules and operating hours.

Technology is making it faster and more convenient than ever to schedule your next blood donation. Just use your computer or smart phone to make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com.

You can also contact Dana Puterbaugh, Darke County - Account Representative @ 937-997-2199 / dputerbaugh@cbccts.org to schedule your appointment.

Please remember that appointments have priority and Walk –Ins are always welcome as the schedule permits. This just means that if you walk in and all appointments are filled at the time you come to the blood drive we will let you know when the next available appointment is and you have the choice to either wait or come back at the time that is available.

Please always allow 45 minutes to 1 hour to get through the entire process, even if you have an appointment.
