Bleed Green for Your Community
The Community Blood Center of the Carolinas (CBCC) is teaming up with UNCC’s 49ers Athletics to host the 7th Annual Homecoming Blood Drive on Thursday, February 9, 2012 from 10:00am-4:00pm at the Student Activity Center Food Court in Halton Arena. The UNCC Athletic Department wants to impact 120 patients’ lives and collect over 240 pounds of food for Second Harvest Food Bank, by having 40 donors roll up their sleeves for local patients!
As the primary blood supplier to the region, CBCC provides nearly 400 blood products every day to help patients being treated in area hospitals. While most people believe the need for blood is driven by disaster, the reality is more blood products are needed by patients in our local hospitals every day than has ever been required in response to any domestic disaster. All of the blood donated to CBCC is used here in our community to treat local patients.
If you are in the UNCC community on February 9th; please stop by to show your support for our community hospitals; just 30 minutes can save up to 3 local lives!
