Give the Gift of Life at the BJ Blood Drive
Wednesday, December 21 | 3:00-9:00PM | 88th Street Sanctuary
Every December, BJ partners with the New York Blood Center (NYBC) to collect life-saving donations for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and blood types. The season is once again upon us, so if you have ever considered donating, now is the time.
Did you know?
Every two seconds, someone needs blood
1 in 3 people will need a blood product in their lifetime
Only 2% of our local eligible population donates blood each year
If 1% more of Americans donated, blood shortages would disappear
When just one pint of blood from a single donor can save up to three lives, each and every one of us can make the choice to be someone's hero. Register now. Walk-ins are welcome but we encourage you to register for a speedier check-in process. Those without appointments may be subject to a longer wait.
To find out more about becoming a donor, read NYBC's donor eligibility guidelines and learn about what to expect during your visit. Any lingering questions? Contact Trudi.
