Save A Life and Give Blood

Donating blood is one of the greatest gifts that you could give yourself and someone in need. According to the American Red Cross, “Every two seconds someone in the U.S needs blood.”

On July 13, from 2- 7, the Greater West Columbia Chamber is partnering with the American Red Cross for a blood drive. Consider joining and potentially saving many lives.

Here are some great reasons to give blood:

• It helps in reducing risk of damage to liver and pancreas.
• Donating blood may help in improving cardiovascular health and reducing obesity.
• Donating blood can help in treating patients suffering from cancer, bleeding disorders, chronic anemia associated with cancer, sickle cell anemia and other hereditary blood abnormalities.
• Regular blood donation may help in reducing iron overload.

So, now that you know some of the great benefits of giving blood, why not join the Greater West Columbia Chamber for their blood drive? Here is the link for more information: http://www.cwcchamber.com/
