GREENVILLE, SC | RALEIGH, NC | ROANOKE, VA | CHARLESTON, SC | SAVANNAH, GA | CHARLOTTE, NC, July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The need for blood products as vital parts of life-saving medical procedures and treatments is constant. As summer begins to hit its stride, the need for these blood products in the community significantly increases while blood donor turnout typically drops. <\/p>\n

The Blood Connection (TBC), your community blood center which serves local hospitals, wants to make the public aware of an urgent need for blood right now and urges the communities it serves to celebrate this Independence Day by volunteering to donate blood to fellow Americans \u2013 their neighbors in need \u2013 during TBC\u2019s Freedom Week promotion July 1-4.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

According to AAA, an estimated 70.9 million Americans are expected to travel more than 50 miles from their homes during the entire week of July 4th<\/sup> this year. With the increase in travel during the summer months, hospitals in our communities have historically seen an increased volume of trauma cases. This is why TBC is urging any community member who is willing, to come out and donate blood.\u00a0 The local life-saving organization stresses that it is the blood on the shelves \u2013 waiting in case of trauma events – that saves lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative that the local community come forward to support the hospitals in their area during this time of urgent need for blood donations,\u201d said Delisa English, President & CEO of The Blood Connection. \u201cUnlike many of the other products used to treat trauma and other injuries, blood cannot be replaced through lab manufacturing or built on an assembly line. Blood must be donated from volunteer donors, who embody the selflessness that is a staple of our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

TBC will have its donation centers open this entire week including July 4 and will continue hosting mobile blood drives July 1-4. As a thank you for donating during this time, all donors will receive $70 in rewards and an exclusive TBC Freedom Week t-shirt. To find a blood drive or center near you, visit thebloodconnection.org\/donate<\/a>. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are always welcome.<\/p>\n
