Dunn Brothers Host Red Cross Blood Drive
Get a Free Cup of Dunn Brothers Coffee. Donate Monday, December 15th at Dunn Brothers in Apple Valley.
Please join Dunn Brothers Apple Valley (15265 Galaxie Ave) as we host our first Red Cross blood drive. The Red Cross mobile unit (bus) will be parked at the store on Monday, December 15th from 8:00am - 2:00pm. All presenting donors will receive a free cup of Dunn Brothers Coffee.
Patients don’t get a holiday from needing blood and platelets. The need is constant.
o Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
o It’s the blood products on the shelves today that help save lives in an emergency.
o Blood and platelets are needed for many different reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood.
o Donated blood products are perishable. Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days and platelets just five days, so they must constantly be replenished – there is no substitute.
To make an appointment visit www.redcrossblood.org or the Red Cross Blood Donor App and enter sponsor code ”Dunn Bros AV” or call 1-800-REDCROSS.
