 “Donating blood during the holidays is a special gift that cannot be duplicated and demonstrates the foundation for the spirit of the holidays,” states Ken Versteeg, Executive Director, Community Blood Bank.  “With you one donation, three lives within the community are saved and given the gift of hope.  You can provide an opportunity for patients to experience another birthday, holiday or a bright sunny day.  Please join us to give blood at West Lyon High School on December 18^th. 

 Donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with a signed parent consent form), weigh 110 lbs or more and be in good general health.  It is recommended that a person eat and drink plenty of fluids prior to donating blood.  Please bring an ID with you at the time of donation.  For more information log onto www.cbblifeblood.org, call Community Blood Bank at 1-877-877-3070.
