At this time the Greenwich Township School District is inviting your participation in our school’s upcoming blood drive. We are inviting all parents to donate on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 from 1:00pm-7:00pm in the gym of Nehaunsey Middle School.

The need for blood continues to grow, due to an aging population as well as incredible advances in medical care that are saving more lives than ever before. Yet, despite the fact that all of us know someone who has needed or will need blood, only 5% of the eligible population actually donates blood.

By hosting a blood drive, we are hoping to better respond to the growing need for blood in our community, as well as set a good example for the students. Just one blood donation can help save up to three lives, so every single donor counts. You can make a difference!

We encourage you to consider making an appointment. To choose a time that fits your schedule, please call 1-800-RedCross or visit www.redcrossblood.org enter sponsor code 0229003.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR SUPPORT.
