American Red Cross Blood Drive

Harry Norman, REALTORS® Forsyth/Lake Lanier Office will hold our 2nd Annual Blood Drive sponsored by the American Red Cross.

Due to inclement weather in February, the event will now take place on February 16, 2014 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at 1664 Market Place Blvd., Cumming, GA 30041.

As you know, donating blood is a simple thing to do, but it can make a big difference in the lives of others. The donation process from the time you arrive until the time you leave takes about an hour. The donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average.

Currently, there is an EMERGENCY need for blood. Come out on May 16, 2014 and help us save lives!

Our goal is to have at least 32 donors on May 16, 2014. If we meet our goal of 32 donors, we will be able to save 75 patients in need of blood. That’s awesome! Can you image how many lives we can save with 50 donors?
