Red Cross Blood Drive - Bharatiya Temple in Troy, February 19th CANCELLED!!!

Red Cross Blood Drive - CANCELLED
Due to resource contraints Red Cross had to cancel the Blood Drive at the temple on February 19, 2012.

SEVA is organizing a blood drive at The Bharatiya Temple on February 19, 2012 between 9 AM and 3 PM in the multi purpose hall. Anyone above the age of 17 is eligible to donate blood. Each donation saves three lives. That's because each unit of donated blood can be divided for at least three life-saving purposes:

- Red blood cells are used for surgery, kidney dialysis and to treat anemia.
- Plasma is used to treat burn victims and patients in shock.

- Platelets are used for surgery, and to treat leukemia, as well as other forms of cancer.
While 60% of the US Population is eligible to donate blood - only 5% do. When asked, #1 reason for not giving blood is because "no one asked me". So, please donate blood and save lives.

PLEASE BRING AN ID TO DONATE BLOOD
