Darke County Blood Drives for September
New ‘Compassion’ T-Shirt for Cancer Awareness
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – Support the fight against cancer by donating at
the any of the following Darke County community blood drives.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “My Compassion
Defines Me. I Donate Blood to Fight Cancer” t-shirt honoring September
and October Blood Cancer and Breast Cancer Awareness Months. Make
an appointment to donate online at www.DonorTime.com or call (937)
461-3220.
The “My Compassion Defines Me” t-shirt is the donor gift from Community
Blood Center Sept. 3 through Nov. 2. It’s the last of three dt-shirt
designs in the Lifesaving Adventure Blood Drive campaign. Everyone who
registers to donate through Nov. 2 is automatically entered in the
drawing for the YETI Adventure Package, which includes a Tundra Cooler,
Base Camp chairs and 27 genuine YETI accessories.
Platelets and plasma are vitally important for the treatment of cancer
patients, as well as trauma, transplant, and burn patients. CBC is
offering new opportunities to donate platelets and plasma at community
blood drives. Donors are in high demand, especially blood types A, AB,
or B positive. Find out more at www.GivingBlood.org or talk to an
apheresis specialist at (937) 461-3220.
