Chinook Blood Drive
The American Red Cross critically needs blood donors now following a concerning trend over the past months – fewer donors rolling up a sleeve to give lifesaving blood.
With summertime, comes family vacations and lots of extra traveling. According to the American Red Cross, AAA calls it the "100 deadliest days" of summer for auto accidents, it's critical hospitals have lifesaving blood products on hand for all trauma and accident victims who count on transfusions when there is no time to waste. In some of the most dire situations, medical teams may need to use hundreds of blood products to save a life.
The Chinook community will host a community blood drive with the American Red Cross on Tuesday July 23rd from 12 noon to 6 PM at the Blaine County Commercial Building (300 Cleveland Rd). The Red Cross highly recommends appointments, however walk in donors are welcome.
Be a force for good. Anyone who gives blood in July will receive a Fandango Movie Ticket by email to see TWISTER courtesy of the American Red Cross.
