Platelet & Blood Drive

ARE YOU WILLING TO HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF SOMEONE YOU MAY NEVER MEET? - NEXT BBPC PLATELET DRIVE IS ON SUNDAY, JULY 1, 8 AM - 2 PM As you may know, platelets are the blood component that is especially needed by cancer and other seriously ill patients. Donating platelets is similar to donating whole blood, but takes about 2 hours to do. You must reserve a slot to donate. Please contact Steve Yacik at steveyacik@optonline.net or 908-500-0907--BUT YOU BETTER ACT FAST. We have 12 donation slots--6 of which are already filled. If you've never donated before, now is the perfect time to try. fyi: On June 5, our church will be awarded the "Outstanding Community Platelet Donor Site" of the year by the Red Cross.
