Give a Pint, Get a Pint, Save a Life.
Throughout the month of January, BloodSource will give you a coupon for a free pint of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream when you donate a pint of blood.
The need for blood following the holidays is especially great. Blood donors are needed now – especially those with type O blood. Hospitals throughout Northern and Central California are doing their work with limited blood supplies at this time. Trauma centers and emergency rooms are swamped and asking for more blood than is readily available.
BloodSource's Hospital Services department is experiencing a flurry of activity. The ability to meet patient immediate patient needs is difficult, as blood is not available to the extent needed.
The needs are immediate and diverse:
- A nine year old girl with leukemia needs blood to keep her alive as she awaits a bone marrow transplant
- A member of the State Auditors Office needs blood as she fights for her life due to blood cancer
- A premature baby needs type O negative transfusions
- Trauma centers and emergency rooms are busy with people who need blood transfusions to survive.
