Blood donation and UNMC.
Every blood donation is an opportunity to help someone in need. Giving blood really does help save lives. Despite the fact that giving blood is easy, safe, and takes about 75 minutes, only 5 percent of eligible Americans donate blood. It is too easy to rationalize that someone else will fill the need.
To schedule a donation, use the Red Cross’ electronic scheduling system. Click here, find the blood drive and enter the sponsor code — 0091199. Or click on this link.
