Your blood donation can save up to three lives because they'll often take the blood and divide it into three aspects: the platelets, the plasma, and the actual blood cells.
Human blood is required to save the lives of people suffering from accidents and disease millions of times each year in the United States. There is no way to manufacture human blood outside the body.
The Community Blood Center is hosting two blood drives next week, and there's an added bonus for anybody that's a Kansas City Royals fan... or even somebody who knows a Royals fan.
This April, the Community Blood Center has partnered with Global Blood Fund to give hope to Ukrainian refugees. They will donate $1 for every donor who signs up to donate in support Of Ukraine!
People who have been in car accidents might need a huge transfusion of red blood cells. But platelets are used too, for cancer patients, trauma and open heart surgeries.
After all, you're killing several birds with one stone - helping your community, helping your favorite non profit, and... killing a Royal shirt? Yeah, you're totally gonna kill it in that shirt.
