B a life saver. B Negative blood currently at inadequate level.
Donate blood for those in need.
The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center (STBTC) is experiencing low counts of B
Negative type blood. Filtered red blood cells, which are used for patients who have
suffered trauma such as a car accident or gun shot wound and those awaiting surgeries,
are needed every day. You can contribute to save the lives of up to three patients with
one donation; no matter what your blood type is.
If you don’t know your blood type, we can help! When donating blood for STBTC, each
donor receives a mini-physical which includes a blood pressure, pulse, iron level and
cholesterol check. The results are then mailed to you, informing you of your cholesterol
level and your blood type.
Next to knowing you saved lives, there are other incentives, such as being eligible to win
a WEBER GAS GRILL from Jeff’s Backyard, getting an All-American Donor T-shirt and
refreshments.
Donors who have already donated once since May 1st can donate once again before
September 30 to receive his or her $20 HEB gift card! Donate at the following blood
drives coming your way:
