San Diego Residents Near Downtown, Make a Change, Safe a Life and Donate Blood on September 9, 2008

I donate blood on a regular basis. Since I am from San Diego I normally go to the San Diego Blood Bank, but this September 9, 2008 I encourage everyone in San Diego to donate blood at Little Italy in Downtown San Diego. This will be for the American Red Cross Southern California Chapter. This is an urgent appeal for Blood Donors. The Blood Supply has reached critical levels and blood donations are needed immediately. All donations are by appointment only:

3 easy steps to help make a change and safe lives:

Donations are by Appointment Only. If you would like to donate:

1) Set up your donor profile

2) use Sponsor Code BusinessOnLine, or search by date, to find this September 9 event and schedule your appointment time.

3) Go to the event to donate blood and don’t fail to mention where you found out about the event. Just say you found it on BenjArriola.com.

Remember the greater purpose. You are saving someone’s life for every donation make.

Why Give Blood?

This is an extremely worthwhile cause. Every two seconds someone in the United States needs blood. But only 5% of the eligible population donates. Since there is no substitute for blood, the need for blood donations is constant. And with the Urgent Appeal – now is the time to give.

In addition to saving a life and the instant sense of gratification, all donors will receive a $10 Gift Certificate from Mimi’s Cafe at the time of donation and may enter a regional drawing for a $1,500 American Express Shopping Card!
