Wildcard Army Blood Drive 01/22/16

Greetings Wildcard Army!

Happy New Year! New Year, New You right?! Well here's a great way to start. Helping others without having to do anything but donate a small amount of time, and a small amount of blood seems to be a no-brainer right? That being said, we'd like to have another great turnout for our Wildcard Blood Drive on the 22nd!

We also have committed to our biggest event yet that will guarantee some fun for the family in April. We'll rely heavily on your support to hit our goal, but we know the Wildcard Army (you) will all come thorugh. All you have to do is attend! Look out for more info on that shortly. With that, please read below as it still remains very true for us everytime we have a Blood Donor event.

While Nixon was in the hospital he received numerous blood & platelet transfusions. I remember thinking at the time that I wish I could find out whose blood it was and give them a hug for literally helping to keep my boy alive. For Nixon it wasn’t a choice, it was a necessity to stay alive. On the other end of the spectrum, for that stranger it was a choice and not a necessity. I would just sit there staring at the bag of dark red liquid pumping into Nixon drop by drop, and wonder if the stranger knew the impact they had on my family’s life while s/he was out there doing whatever it is s/he does in his/her normal life.

Besides donating your organs when you perish, I can’t think of anything more selfless and easy to do for someone else’s livelihood. It doesn’t cost anything but your time, a little poke, and it literally can help save a life. With that, we have set up a few time slots on October 19th to donate blood for the patients of CHOC (Childrens Hospital of Orange County). We encourage you to join us help sick children by giving up little pieces of ourselves. It’s quick, easy, and free. All it costs is a little bit of time.

Please hit the “Contact Us” button at the bottom of our website to let us know what time slot you’ll be coming, or call/text the number given. If you have any questions hit this FAQ’s to see the requirements and such. We look forward to seeing you!

Take care,

Rich
