Calling All Donors…Blood Drive on April 8th!

Thinking about donating blood?         

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. 

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

It could not be easier…donating blood takes so little time, and can literally change someone else’s life. 

Ford’s Colony has made it so easy to do – on Friday, April 8th, you can donate blood between the hours of 11am-4pm at the Swim and Tennis Club.

Call Christopher Schwenker, Jr. at 757-258-4270 to make an appointment to donate blood.  Or, you can email him at cschwenker@fordscolony.com.
