FAREWELL TO SUMMER WEEK AT CBC

DONORS CAN CHOOSE FAVORITE FROM ‘iFOCUS ON SAVING LIVES’ CAMPAIGN

DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, It’s “farewell to summer” week as Community Blood Center (CBC) transitions to fall and says goodbye to the “iFocus on Saving Lives” summer blood drive campaign.
Everyone who registers to donate at any CBC branch or most mobile drives Tuesday, September 4 through Saturday, September 8 can choose from the summer campaign’s three t-shirt designs, the “Blood Donors Save Lives” license plate frame, or other blood drive campaign gifts while supplies last.

“Farewell to summer” week is a good opportunity for donors to take home one of the “iFocus on Saving Lives” campaign items they may have missed during the summer months.

Notice about important changes to CBC’s donor ID system - CBC has assigned new, eight-digit donor identification numbers to all donors. When donors present their current CBC Donor ID card at a CBC branch or mobile drive it will be noted for replacement and the donor will receive a new plastic Donor ID card and key fob card in the mail. Donors must use their new Donor ID number to schedule appointments on www.DonorTime.com.

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 schedule your next appointment using your mobile device to scan the DonorTime QR code.
