March Blood
Drives in Darke County and surrounding areas
DAYTON & DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Get ready for St. Patrick’s Day at
one of the following community blood drives. Everyone who registers to
donate will receive the Community Blood Center “Blood Donors are Lucky
Charms” t-shirt. Schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or
call 1-800-388-GIVE.
The St. Patrick’s Day “Blood Donors are Lucky Charms” t-shirt is black
and features a green Celtic four leaf clover with the CBC blood drop
logo. It’s free to everyone who registers to donate Feb. 26 through St.
Patrick’s Day on March 17 at a CBC Donor Center or most CBC mobile
blood drives.
SUPPORT THE WINTER BLOOD SUPPLY
With cold weather and flu season expected to continue into March, CBC
is being especially cautious about maintaining the regional blood
supply. If you must miss an appointment to donate please reschedule as
soon as possible.
CBC is also focusing in 2018 on recruiting more platelet and plasma
donors. The automated process of giving platelets and plasma is called
“apheresis” and the number of these special donors is dwindling. CBC’s
most dedicated donors are ageing, with about 53 percent of the donor
base now over the age of 50.
CBC is calling on young people to become the “next generation of
donors” and asking new and current donors to help CBC meet the
challenges of the future by becoming apheresis donors.
