Community Blood Center is in critical need of type O and B negative blood. Help avert this shortage during the busiest time of the holiday season when you donate at the City of Piqua community blood drive Monday, Dec. 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 201 West Water St.
Everyone who registers to donate Dec. 19-31 at any CBC blood drive, or the Dayton CBC Donation Center, is automatically entered in the drawing to win two tickets to the Jan. 27 performance of “Les Misérables” at Dayton’s Schuster Center. All donors also receive the knit Blood Donor Beanie.
Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com , call (937) 461-3220, or use the new Donor Time app.
Your donation will help CBC maintain the regional blood supply during the challenging weeks of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
Save time when you donate by downloading the new Donor Time app. You can also use “DonorXPress” to complete the donor questionnaire before arriving at a blood drive. Find DonorXPress on the Donor Time App or at www.givingblood.org/donorxpress .
