October Darke
County Area Blood Drives
October Donors can help fight cancer
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Donors can join the fight against cancer during
October Breast Cancer Awareness Month by supporting the community blood
drives in Darke County communities. Community Blood Center encourages
donors to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call
1-800-388-GIVE.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “I Fight Cancer – I
Give Blood” t-shirt. The t-shirt is charcoal heather gray with a design
that features an array of colored ribbons representing awareness for
the many forms of cancer. The cancer awareness t-shirt is
available at CBC Donor Centers and most CBC mobile blood drives Monday,
Oct. 2 through Saturday, Nov. 4.
The “I Fight Cancer – I Give Blood” campaign represents 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.
