Donating Blood Saves Lives
Wednesday, April 7, 2010 • Posted April 6, 2010

Did you know that one blood donation can save up to three lives? Patients count on volunteer blood donors, just like you. Take a few minutes of your time to make a life saving donation. Six hundred units are needed daily to meet the needs of hospital patients in South Texas.

Donate blood at these upcoming blood drives:

•Blanco National Bank (416 Main St.): Tuesday, April 13; 9:00am - noon; in the parking lot

•Super S, 111 Blanco Ave: Tuesday, April 13; 2:00pm – 5:30pm; in the parking lot

All presenting donors in April are entered for a chance to win a family four-pack of Schlitterbahn Season Passes! Donors must present identification. Anyone who is 16 years old weighing 120 pounds (with parental consent form), or at least 17 years old weighing 110 pounds and in good general health may donate blood. All donors receive refreshments, a mini-physical and are encouraged to eat before and after donation. Learn more about blood donation at www.southtexasblood.org or call 800-292-5534.
