It can be done during lunch, while you read your paper, or on your way home from work.

Every two seconds someone
in America needs blood. Yet
only 5% of eligible people currently give blood.

To help increase local blood supply Irvine Kiwanis and Sports Club Irvine together with Red Cross will sponsor a blood drive on January 27, 2004 from 12 noon to 6 pm.
 

Our goal is to collect 100 pints of blood and we invite new and current donors to come and give blood — the gift of life.

Blood is needed for emergencies and for people who have cancer, blood disorders, sickle cell, anemia and other illnesses. Some people need regular blood transfusions to live.

Imagine if giving blood was part of everyone's life. Something you did on a regular basis, like eating at your favorite restaurant. What kind of difference would that make? For nearly 5 million people who receive blood transfusions every year, your donation can make the difference between life and death.

Giving blood is simple, safe and can easily be scheduled into your daily activities.
