Darke County
Blood Drive for October
DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, Ohio - October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month and Darke County Blood Drive Sponsors are teaming up
with Community Blood Center (CBC) to help fight the disease with a
community & company blood drives. Everyone who registers to
donate will receive the special-edition “Unite to Fight Cancer”
t-shirt. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online
at www.DonorTime.com. Locally donors can contact Dana Puterbaugh,
Darke County Account Representative at 937-997-2199 or
dputerbaugh@givingblood.org.
The “Unite to Fight Cancer” t-shirt symbolizes the unique relationship
between blood donors and cancer patients. Chemotherapy and other
cancer treatments have a harsh impact on blood cells. Transfusions of
donated blood and blood products are vital to reducing complications
and saving lives. The cancer awareness t-shirt is free when
you register to donate Wednesday, Oct. 1 through Saturday, Nov. 1 at
any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives.
The “Unite to Fight Cancer” t-shirt is pink, the international color of
breast cancer awareness, and features the slogan “Together We Unite To
Fight: It’s In Your Blood.” The design includes six ribbons, each
representing a form of cancer. Breast cancer awareness is the
central pink ribbon, flanked by the orange and lavender ribbons
representing blood cancers. Leukemia and lymphoma patients
commonly require blood transfusions during treatment.
CBC/CTS is supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by serving as
the presenting sponsor of the Oct. 2, 2014 Dayton Light The Night
fundraising walk at Kettering’s Fraze Pavilion. CBC/CTS CEO Dr.
David Smith is the 2014 chairman of the Dayton Light The Night
executive leadership committee.
CBC is proud to support the fight against breast cancer. National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health
campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to
increase awareness about the disease and to raise funds for research
into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign
also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.
