Did you know that one pint of blood can save up to three lives and that every 2 seconds someone requires a blood transfusion?

If your resolution is to do more to help others this year, consider making a donation at our upcoming blood drive. The American Red Cross is always in need of blood donations and, because only about 10 percent of eligible donors actually donate, the need for contributions is immense. You can help by rolling up your sleeves and making a donation at our upcoming blood drive on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016. The ARC will be at our dealership taking donations from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. that day.

Please consider stopping by to donate or make an appointment online in advance. If you join us, please remember to have at least a light meal and plenty to drink beforehand. As a perk for all who donate, there will be free mini physicals that check each participant’s pulse, blood pressure, body temperature and hemoglobin.

Check out the blood facts and stats below to get an idea of how great the need for donations truly is. Participate at our event and you’ll be a hero to many people. We hope to see you there!
