We are helping Community Blood Center of the Carolinas and Atrium Health’s Levine Children’s Hospital put out an S.O.S. to all local blood donors to Save Our Summer!

Collections have been down all summer, and local patients – including cancer patients who are the No. 1 recipients of blood – are counting on you to ensure a steady blood supply is available for those in need. The life-saving blood products they require can only come from volunteer donors like you.

The inaugural Save Our Summer Blood Drive will take place 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23., in the main floor conference room of Atrium Health’s Levine Children’s Hospital (1000 Blythe Blvd. in Charlotte).

All presenting blood donors will receive a special limited-edition T-shirt as a thank you. 

The blood you donate with CBCC will be used to treat patients in our local hospitals, including Levine Children’s and at Atrium Health.

You can stop by to give on your lunch break, on your way home from work, or when you need a break from chores at home. The need for blood never takes a vacation. Make your appointment today: www.cbcc.us  |  1-888-59BLOOD
