Darke County & Area Blood Drives
“Kiss Me”
T-Shirts thanks blood donors for help during flu season
DAYTON, Ohio – Area community blood drives will help boost the blood
supply during what has been a challenging flu season.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the Community Blood
Center “Kiss Me – I Donate Blood” St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt.
Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at
www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.
A significant number of potential donors have been unable to give blood
this winter because of widespread cases of flu and other seasonal
illness. If you must miss an appointment to donate please reschedule
when able. CBC specifically encourages eligible donors to help
with the need for type O positive and type O negative whole blood
donations and type A/B platelet and plasma donations.
Donors got to choose the bright green “Kiss Me – I Donate Blood” design
for this year’s St. Patrick’s Day t-shirt by casting votes on the CBC
Facebook page (facebook.com/communitybldcenter) and through email
balloting. It features a green lipstick kiss mark and the CBC
blood drop logo inside a shamrock. The special edition t-shirt is
free to everyone who registers to donate at a CBC Donor Center or most
CBC mobile blood drives from Monday, Feb. 27 through Saturday, March 25.
Community Blood Center is now testing blood donations for the Zika
virus and is no longer deferring donors for travel to Zika endemic
areas. By consenting to give blood, donors are agreeing to participate
in a research study to help develop better testing systems to protect
the blood supply.
