LBCC Sponsors Blood Drive

Every two seconds, someone needs a blood transfusion.

On Tuesday April 26th and Wednesday April 27th, LBCC will sponsor a blood drive.  The blood drive will be held in the Calapooia Room from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Why donate blood?  Everyone has a different reason, but the best reason is to save lives.  How can you help?  Easy, donate blood.  One pint of blood can save up to 3 different lives.

The Red Cross began providing blood to patients in 1940, and now holds more than 200,000 blood drives per year.
