    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Memorial Blood Centers is Calling All Life-Savers

    April 17, 2017 (St. Paul, MN)     – Memorial Blood Centers invites all eligible blood donors to roll up their sleeve and give blood.  Every two seconds someone needs blood – from heart transplant and cancer patients to accident victims and premature babies.  The need for blood is constant, but the supply is not.  Only volunteer blood donors can make a life-saving difference to someone in need.
     
    Step up to give blood at a blood drive or donor center in your neighborhood and help save lives.  Donating blood is convenient and safe when you are:
     
    • In good health
    • Free of antibiotics for 24 hours, unless taken daily for a skin condition
    • Symptom-free for at least 3 days following a cold or a flu
    • 17 years or older—16 with written parental consent (form available at MBC.ORG)
       
    While walk-in donors are always welcome, we encourage appointments to be made in advance.  To register for a blood drive, go online to MBC.ORG or contact the sponsoring organization directly.  Visit MBC.ORG and search blood drives to find the most up-to-date blood drive list in your community.  You can also donate at a local donor center, sponsor your own blood drive, or gather friends to donate together at a Donor Day event.
