Annual OSU Alumni Blood Drive set for Nov. 12 

Blood Donors on November 12 may think they are at an OSU Football Tailgate Party.  They will be close to the truth as the OSU Alumni Club of Darke County sponsor their Annual Blood Drive Tailgate Party from 12:30 to 6:30 at the Greenville Church of the Brethren at 421 Central Avenue. 

Amid game day decorations, Buckeye memorabilia  will be given as door prizes every half hour and donors will be offered a large variety of goodies, including tasty buckeyes after donating, or attempting to donate.  The OSU Alumni Club hopes to make this year’s  number of donations  a record. 

CBC Darke County Account Representative  Dana Puterbaugh noted that “BUCKEYE STRONG” T-shirts will be given to donors, another incentive to donate. . 

Donors are encouraged to make an appointment for an easy in, easy out donor experience by scheduling a time on line at www.DonorTime.com,  or call 800,388.GIVE.  Donors are required to present photo identification with full name to donate.  Donors must be at least 16 and weigh at least 110 lbs. and be in generally good health.  Sixteen year olds must bring a signed CBC parental consent form with them. 

Plan to be part of the Buckeye spirit, enjoy the tailgate party and feel good about donating your blood  to help someone in need.
