“We love being able to offer our donors fun and unique incentive items so they can show off their status as a lifesaver and these beach towels are going to be a hot item,” said CBCO Media Relations Representative Michelle Teter. “It is no secret that summer is a challenging time for the area’s blood supply. Hospital usage has recently increased, and summer activities often hinder donations. We urge community members to help keep the heat off the blood supply this summer by donating with CBCO. Your blood donation can support local patients, and you never know when it might be your friend, family member, or neighbor who needs a blood transfusion. Please consider making a blood donation appointment today.”

To help avoid wait times, appointments are strongly encouraged. Donors can schedule an appointment at https://www.cbco.org/donate-blood/ or by calling 417-227-5006.
