You might think that Bonfils has enough blood
donor support to maintain the blood supply,
but in fact, the need for blood is constant.
Bonfils Blood Center needs thousands of blood
donors each week to meet Colorado's needs and
to be prepared for unexpected events.
All blood types are needed and we welcome
new blood donors to join the Bonfils family.
For more information about Bonfils Blood Center,
visit www.bonfils.org.
For general information about blood donor eligibility,

For phone questions, call Bonfils' Donor Relations
department at 303-363-2202 or 800-365-0006, option 1.
Did you know there is another way you can save lives?
Each year thousands of people are diagnosed with diseases
like leukemia and lymphoma for which a stem cell or marrow
transplant could be the only cure.
About 70 percent of these people are unable to find a donor
match within their family and must search for an unrelated
donor on the Be The Match® Registry.
Join the registry through Bonfils' Colorado Marrow Donor
Program. It's easy and saves lives.
For more information, visit www.bonfils.org,
http://www.bonfils.org/about_donating/colorado_marrow_donor_program/,
or call 800-619-1099 or 303-363-2345.

Thank you for passing this on to
friends, colleagues and students.

Best wishes,

Give Blood

Today I attended a Blood Drive and donated my blood to the American Red Cross. The Blood Drive just so happened to be at our kid's school!

Did you know that every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation.



From its beginning, the American Red Cross has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves. The American Red Cross blood donor embodies this principle. Please them in their mission to maintain a safe and stable blood supply by making your appointment to donate blood today.

To learn more about blood donation opportunities, visit www.redcrossblood.org/ or

call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733 2767).

When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood.

To find out where you can donate, visit www.redcrossblood.org/ or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733 2767).

Want to know if you're able to give blood? Review the donor eligibility guidelines.
