Another great turnout! THANK YOU to all those who took the time out of their busy schedule to donate blood!
We had 142 sign in. Nineteen deferred for low iron (the regional average); seven deferred for various other reasons; and several weren't able to donate a full bag. in the end we collected 95 regular donations and 22 double-red donations.
This blood will be in hospitals by Saturday, helping approximately 307 patients.
I know those are a lot of numbers to digest -- but what really matters is that donors had a good experience and they impacted the lives of 307 families in just six hours.
Thank you to all who donated blood and their time to make this event run smoothly!
