Woodbridge Office to Host Community Blood Drive

ERA Blue Diamond Realty is pleased to announce they have partnered with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive at their office on Wednesday, October 8, 2014. The drive will be from 1:30pm - 7:00pm at the office located at 2974 Prince William Parkway, Woodbridge.

Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and more than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day. The Red Cross is putting out a call for people to roll their sleeves up and donate blood. “We are not critical yet, but we’re getting close,” said Steve Mavica, the communications manager at the American Red Cross in the D.C.-Baltimore area. While there is a national shortage of blood, the shortage in the D.C. area is actually worse, Mavica says. The Red Cross has seen a 9 percent decrease in the number of people coming in compared to what was expected, Mavica says. Negative blood types are especially short, but all blood types are needed.

To make an appointment to give blood, please call ERA Blue Diamond Realty at 703-494-3000 to be scheduled.
