A lot of people are squeamish about getting poked by needles, but there are very good reasons to try to overcome this and donate blood:  each blood donation can save up to three lives. Volunteer blood donors are the only source for patients in need of blood and blood products.

Central Blood Bank will be doing a blood drive on Tuesday, March 13 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the foyer of the Carnegie Music Hall, at 440 Forbes Avenue in Oakland.  All participating donors will get either a pass for general admission to Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh or a $10 GetGo gas card.

You can schedule your appointment  online at www.centralbloodbank.org, using sponsor code ET030003.  For more information contact Dale at 412-209-7048 or email dellgass@itxm.org.
