Blood donors are needed. Food will be provided. In April 2013, MBTA Transit Police Officer Richard “Dic” Donohue, Jr. was shot in an intense gun battle with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Officer Donohue required more than 46 blood products including red cells, platelets and plasma to help save his life. When he awoke from surgery, Officer Donohue remembers the doctor saying they gave him any and all blood products they had just to keep him alive. “I am here today because of blood donors. I would not be alive if people hadn’t volunteered their time to give blood.” Please sign up to donate blood today!

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.

Thank you for supporting the American Red Cross blood program!
