Today is World Blood Donor Day


In 2012 alone, nearly 6 million people across American may require a blood transfusion. With no substitute for human blood, those in need rely on the kindness of donors. Through their generous actions, these blood donors prove how one person can make a difference in the lives of many, as one blood donation can help save more than one life.
To raise awareness about this critical issue, the American Red Cross Blood Services is partnering with Nexcare TM Bandages on the Give campaign. This nationwide initiative thanks blood donors and encourages other to give. The campaign kicks off June 14th –World Blood Donor Day, and runs through the end of the month at Red Cross blood drives and donor centers across the county.
World Blood Donor DayNew for 2012, Nexcare Brand will be giving away limited edition bandages inspired by iconic trends from decades past, adorned with the word “give” to demonstrate that “Giving Blood is Timeless.” This collection features six eye-catching designs ranging from retro polka dots and tie-dye to grunge plaid and is a nostalgic nod to the time-honored tradition of giving back by donating blood.
To pledge your support for blood donation, request free Nexcare give bandages and enter for a chance to win a trip for two to New York City visit www.nexcaregive.com or text “give” to 34426. Standard data rates may apply.
