October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and blood donors can support the fight against all types of cancer by giving blood.

Cancer patients are the number one recipients of all blood products and can use up to eight units of blood a month. This October, give blood and give a lifesaving gift to a family member, friend or neighbor battling this devastating disease and help support the fight against cancer.

It takes less than one hour to give blood and your donation could be the lifesaving link for a hospital patient in their critical time of need. You can make a difference by making a donation at an upcoming blood drive.

Dike Community Blood Drive, Tuesday, September 30, 2014 from 1:30 PM – 5:30 PM at Dike Community Building, 540 Main Street.

Sign up to save a life today! Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800.287.4903.
