Blood drive tomorrow in Adrian

Give the Gift of Life...

There will be a blood drive at the Adrian Optimist building from 1 pm to 6 pm tomorrow (Tuesday March 6th). 

If you have never given blood before, there are a few guidelines set forth by the American Red Cross:

Be healthy*

Be at least 17 years old in most states, or 16 years old with parental consent if allowed by state law – see more information for 16-year old donors

Weigh at least 110 lbs.

Additional weight requirements apply for donors 18 years old and younger and all high school donors.

* Note: Healthy means that you feel well and can perform normal activities. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes, healthy also means that you are being treated and the condition is under control.
