Fourth of July weekend, Northlake Mall will open its doors to the community as a host site for American Red Cross Blood Drives. Donors may visit the mall during July 3-4 to participate.
Need a reason to participate? Take a look at the following statistics courtesy of the American Red Cross:
· Shortages of blood often occur during summer holidays.
· Someone needs blood every two seconds in the U.S.
· Just one pint of blood can help save up to three lives!
· Type O is the most requested by hospitals.
· Approximately 38% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate – yet only 3% actually do!
