FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Community Blood Center hosts blood drive at
the WWII Building sponsored by the Wautoma Kiwanis
Whispering Pines and Rehabilitation
Healthy and eligible community members are encouraged to schedule a donation to help support the transfusion needs of patients.
Wautoma, Wis. (October 31st) – The Community Blood Center (CBC) is hosting a blood drive on Monday, October 31st from 10:00am – 5:00 p.m. at the WWII Building in Wautoma.
There is no substitute for transfused blood, so when a patient is facing cancer treatment, surgical procedures or the uncertainty of a traumatic injury, it’s volunteer donors who help ensure the blood needed is available.
“Blood donors are lifesavers. They selflessly give knowing their blood donation can make a difference in someone’s life, someone they will never meet,” said Kristine Belanger, Vice President, Operations and Chief Operating Officer. “This type of commitment to community and to helping others is powerful.”
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. To meet that need, about 35,000 blood donations are needed across the country every single day. CBC is the sole provider of all blood, platelets and plasma to nearly 30 hospitals throughout the Midwest.
This blood drive is open to the public. Healthy and eligible donors are encouraged to schedule a donation by calling 800-280-4102.
