RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE AT GOODWIN – FEBRUARY 12: HELP SAVE LIVES!

It has been a difficult winter for Red Cross blood drives throughout the Northeast. Storms have forced the cancellation more than 100 scheduled drives, and the flu has prevented donors from keeping their appointments. The need is great for donations of all types of blood, especially O negative, A negative, and B negative. You can help by participating in the Goodwin College Blood Drive on Thursday, February 12, from 8:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Community Room at One Riverside Drive. Participants will receive a $5 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card and a “We Challenge U” t-shirt, while supplies last. It is important to schedule your appointment. You can contact Debra Rajaniemi at 860-778-4060 or drajaniemi@goodwin.edu, or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. There will also be a Red Cross representative in the lobby on Thursday, Feb. 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to schedule appointments.
