New Jersey Outlaws to Host Blood Drive on November 19th

Williamsport Outlaws News Release


On Saturday, November 19, 2011 The New Jersey Outlaws are sponsoring a blood drive in conjunction with The Blood Center of New Jersey from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Ice Vault in Wayne, NJ. All are welcome so come in and join us. This drive is being held in an effort to meet the urgency of the community's increasing need for blood. Come out to donate so the blood will be there for the patients who require life-saving transfusions. You will receive a 2 for 1 ticket offer for the Outlaws game that night against the Vermont Wild.

New Jersey faces continuing shortages of blood donations and must import blood regularly from other states. Donations are needed every day to meet the needs of our New Jersey hospitals.

Blood center officials note that each unit of blood donated is broken down into several components including platelets, plasma, and red cells so one donation can save up to three lives.

The donation process is safe and simple. Donors are first asked medical history questions and given a mini-health check, including pulse, blood pressure, and iron level. The actual donation of blood takes just 5 to 7 minutes, and then the donor is given a snack and juice. The entire process generally takes under one hour. Donors will receive a free cholesterol screening.

Donors must be 16 years of age, weight 120 pounds and be in general good health. There is no upper age limit for donors provided they meet health requirements. Donors should bring a signed or picture form of identification and know their S.S. #. Please eat a meal one hour before donating and drink plenty of water.

The Blood Center of New Jersey (BCNJ) is an independent, non-profit organization supplying blood and blood components to hospitals in 15 counties in New Jersey for over 60 years. BCNJ conducts an estimated 200 drives a month and must recruit approximately 100,000 blood donors annually in order to serve the hospitals and patients in our community.
