Christmas in July - Give the Gift of Life

in JULY  Giving the Gift of LIFE I am very proud that our organization, Lindsay's Voice/Trees of HOPE WI has scheduled a “donorship” drive with BloodCenter of Wisconsin for Wednesday, July 24, 2013 from 1:00pm – 6:00pm at Hart Park in Wauwatosa (73rd & State St) . As you receive information on this drive, I urge you to schedule an appointment to donate blood. It is important that we maintain an ample blood supply in our community, and that can only be done with BloodCenter of Wisconsin, as they supply 100% of the blood to every community hospital in our area.
 The blood you donate will save lives right here in your community, specifically patients suffering from traumas and various forms of blood related cancer.
Patients are counting on receiving this blood to help them survive or heal. Let's all participate and make this blood drive a success for all of us. If you haven't signed up yet, please consider doing so. You'll be doing more good than you know. You will also have the opportunity to register with the National Marrow Donor Program’s Be The Match Registry. To learn more about registration eligibility and requirements, please phone Todd Coleman of BloodCenter of Wisconsin’s Marrow Donor Program at 414-937-6249. Please click on the link below to schedule an appointment for blood donation:    Link: www.bcw.edu/TreesofHOPE  or Phone 877-BE-A-HERO  We have several local businesses that are donating some nice "THANK YOU" gifts for our blood donors and those that join the marrow registry. We need people -especially ages 18-44 to join the Marrow Donor Registry... just 10 minutes and a cheek swab is all it takes. You could be the ONE to save a life   Any questions-  call Karen Wenzel  414-750-1989
