TUKWILA CITY HALL BLOOD DRIVE
Friday, August 15 — 10:OOAM to 4:OOPM
6zaa Southcenter Boulevard, in CouncilChambers
The lovely weather during this final stretch of summer
inspires more adventures— many folks want to squeeze
in mini -vacations, last-minute projects and outdoor fun
before the season's end. Did you know?
► Trauma cases spike significantly this time ofyear. With
rising numbers in motor accidents and other incidents, our
activities can increase the demand for donated blood.
P. Summer is a super busy time for everyone. Summer activities
—vacation, travel, out-of-town guests and more —can some-
times prevent donors from stopping by to donate blood.
Fewer people donate while our region's trauma centers
experience an increase in people needing emergency
care. The need for blood is constant, andyour donation
is essential to trauma care, as well as other emergency
situations, surgeries, cancer treatments, organ transplants,
childbirth, and other medical procedures.
Bloodworks Northwest is asking you to donate to help
ensure local patients have access to the blood they need.
