Generous donors are the only source of blood available to patients in need. Each year, nearly five million people in the US need a lifesaving blood transfusion and 38,000 units of blood are needed DAILY. According to the American Cancer Society, there will be nearly 1.4 million new cases of cancer in the US this year. These patients may need blood transfusions for chemotherapy and radiation treatments, surgery and bone marrow transplants. Modern medicine has made these complex and lifesaving operations possible, but these procedures rely on a safe and adequate BLOOD SUPPLY in order to be successful. Earlier this year national blood industry organizations announced that the country again faced a critical shortage of blood supply some of the reasons: about 60 percent of the US population is eligible to donate blood, yet less then 5 percent of people who meet the qualifications actually donate. Among that small group, the average donation frequency is only 1.6 times a year. Donors will recieve a FREE FLEECE SCARF & CHANCE TO ATTEND A MEET & GREET EVENT W/ OKLA. SPORTS LEGENDS.
