DAYTON & Darke County, Ohio – There’s no need to get all unraveled about what to wear for Halloween. Just in time for the haunted holiday, Community Blood Center (CBC) is lifting the no-costume curse with the “This IS my Halloween Costume – I’m a Blood Donor” t-shirt. The Halloween t-shirt is free to everyone one who registers to donate blood Monday, Oct. 22 through Saturday, Nov. 3 at any CBC branch or most mobile blood drives. The t-shirt is black and features the red CBC blood drop wrapped in mummy tape with the message “This IS my Halloween Costume – I’m a Blood Donor.”
The Halloween t-shirt continues the series of CBC fall giveaways that celebrate the dropping temperatures, changing colors and holiday traditions of autumn in the Midwest.

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.
Blood donation requirements: Donors are required to provide a photo ID that includes their full name. Past CBC donors are also asked to bring their CBC donor ID card. Donors must be at least 16 years of age (16 years old with parental consent: form available at www.givingblood.org or at CBC branch & blood drive locations), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good physical health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) changes blood donor eligibility guidelines periodically. Individuals with eligibility questions are invited to email canidonate@cbccts.org or call 1(800)388-GIVE. Make an appointment at www.DonorTime.com.
