#DidYouKnow that every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood? A blood donation can help patients of all ages including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer, sickle cell disease, anemia, or serious infections. Patients fighting sickle cell disease may require blood transfusions. YOU can make all the difference.

Prince George's County Council Member At-Large Calvin S. Hawkins, II and the American Red Cross encourages County residents to give so that others may live by donating blood on Friday, September 20, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
