A recent Canadian Blood Services (CBS) donor clinic in Palmerston was very successful, over-collecting the goal by two units (74 units collected) and the May 21 clinic in Drayton collected 51 units, which is 88 per cent of the target of 58 units.
“Thank you to the donors who came out! Those combined 125 units will save the lives of many local patients in need,” CBS officials state.
Winner of the a la mode $20 gift certificate was Dennis Morgan. Anyone who gave blood was entered in a draw.
As the need for blood is constant, CBS hopes to see an even greater turnout at the next clinics.
The next chances to donate are July 12 in Palmerston or Aug. 20 in Drayton.
