The New York-Penn Blood Services Region typically faces a decline in collections during the month of April due to academic vacations. The regional blood supply runs extremely lean and this deficit challenges our ability to meet the blood supply needs of area hospitals.
Your hard work and leadership will help bridge the gap for thousands of patients in our community who need blood! Please sign up to donate blood on April 10 in Emerson Suites in Campus Center from 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
That's why I want to let you know about a great promotion that we're running throughout April. All presenting donors will receive $10 worth of FREE song downloads from a music library of more than 2 million songs!
Please email [mailto:redcross@ithaca.edu] to set up an appointment for our blood drive on Thursday, April 10, from 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., or stop by our table in Campus Center to sign up in person April 3, 4, 7, 8, or 9 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.
