“I have been consistent in donating blood this year. I vocalize to a lot of my friends, peers, and family that donating blood is a very important way of helping your community and the people that are in need of it.”

“The act of donating blood is so small, but does so much for the community. You could sit howe and watch a movie, or do while donating blood. Why not donate?”
