Have you ever known someone in a car wreck? Most people don't realize that one single accident victim can need up to 100 pints of blood and with only about 10 pints of blood in the average human body, we need to make sure there's enough blood available locally to help save a life in the event of a tragedy.
Please take a few minutes and come to donate blood for the American Red Cross 's blood drive on Thursday, July 8th between 2-8 pm at our Canton/Plymouth, Macomb/Shelby Township, Sterling Heights/Warren, and Waterford stores.
Since blood cannot be manufactured, local Detroit hospitals, clinics and relief organizations rely on the Red Cross to make sure they always have enough blood on hand to meet the demands that are placed upon them every day by people here in the D in need of a transfusion.
To make an appointment to give blood and confirm your eligibility, please go to http://givelife.org. For Step One, enter *gardnerwhite* and then select the location and time that works best for you. If you'd prefer to make your appointment by phone, call 1-800-GIVELIFE. For more information on blood facts please visit http://redcrossblood.org.
As a token of our appreciation for donating, all donors that day will receive a 50.00 gift certificate good for use on your next purchase here at Gardner White. In addition, all donors are eligible to win a 50" Best Buy 2010 Samsung HDTV. One TV will be given away at each store.
We never know when the person needing that blood might be someone close to us. Working together, we can make it a record blood donation day for the D! Please pass the word around to your family and friends and come see us on Thursday, July 8th at one of the four blood drive locations listed above between 2-8 PM.
Give blood. Give life.
