Dear Neighbor,
The Chicago Math and Science Academy, in conjunction with the American Red Cross, is sponsoring aCommunity Blood Drive this Saturday, May 18th, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at the school located at 7212 N. Clark Street (across from Touhy Park, just south of the City of Chicago firehouse).
You don’t need a special reason to give blood. You just need your own reason. Some of us give blood because we were asked by a friend (or our alderman). Some know that a family member or a friend might need blood someday. Some believe it is the right thing we do.
Whatever your reason, the need is constant and your contribution is important for a healthy and reliable blood supply. And you’ll feel good knowing you’ve helped change a life.
It’s also good for your health. When you donate blood, you receive a mini physical to check your:
- Pulse
- Blood Pressure
- Body temperature
- Hemoglobin
What can you expect? When giving blood come prepared:
- Have a light meal and plenty to drink
- Bring your donor card or driver’s license/state ID
- Bring the names of the medications you’re taking
In addition to the satisfaction you’ll feel in helping others, you’ll receive two FREE tickets to Laugh Factory Chicago, Chicago’s premier stand-up comedy club.
I hope you’ll consider donating.
Sincerely,
Joe Moore
