5th annual GBLN-Red Cross Blood Drive at Batalla School this Saturday

A GBLN-Red Cross Blood Drive is inviting the community to give the gift of life this Saturday at the Cesar Batalla School.

The Fifth Annual GBLN and TAG Blood and Bone Marrow Registration Drive is Saturday, Nov. 17 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The drive is directed by GBLN volunteer and former board member Elena Padin, with help from the seventh- and eighth-graders of Cesar Batalla's Talented and Gifted (TAG) program.

For online sign-up, go to redcrossblood.org and enter the code 6807 in the Find a Blood Drive field on the upper right of the home page. Our blood drive will come up and you can schedule an appointment.

Sixty percent of Hispanics have Type O blood, which is the type hospitals need most. Of course, the drive is interested in ALL blood types.
