You’re someone’s type
Cozy gift for blood donors during February
You’re someone’s type, and Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati, needs all types to help local patients in need. Donate blood or platelets between February 3 and February 24 and receive a special Hoxworth gift.
For those who donate at any of Hoxworth’s seven Neighborhood Donor Centers or select blood drives, Hoxworth will gift donors with a cozy wearable blanket for contributing to our lifesaving mission.
Because winter tends to be a difficult period for blood collections across the country, Hoxworth wants to give donors a special February gift.
“Now more than ever, especially with the inclement weather, we need donors to keep their appointments and continue donating to maintain our community blood supply,” says Jackie Marschall, spokesperson for Hoxworth Blood Center.
To schedule a donation, call Hoxworth at 513-451-0910 or visit www.hoxworth.org. Appointments are highly encouraged.
