Why Give?

 All donations will stay in the Washington area filling a desperately needed supply
 Every 17 seconds, someone in the Washington area receives blood 
 Only 5% of the eligible population donates blood – you will be part of it 
 One out of every 10 people will use blood before the age of 70 
 One blood donation can save four lives

It's Safe, Simple, and Rewarding...

 Only one pint of blood is given during donation, which is
 quickly replaced by the body.
 Each unit of blood undergoes 9 extensive state-of-the-art tests to
 ensure that the blood is safe for donation. 
 You will be notified (confidentially) if any of the tests show abnormal results. 
 Delicious sweets to eat after making your blood donation!
