HOUSTON CHAPTER BLOOD DRIVE
 
Saturday, July 29, 2017, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM
 
At the George R Brown Convention Center, please consider donating blood.  Blood is a resource that is always needed, and for which there is no substitute.  If you live in a community that has ever been damaged by tornadoes or hurricanes, you live where blood is needed.  If you know someone who has received cancer treatment or had surgery, you know someone who has needed blood.  Giving blood only takes 30-40 minutes, of which only about 5-6 are actually giving.  And most of our TASO vendors will give a merchandise credit to members who have donated blood during the day!  Walk-ups are welcome, or pre-register your donation time HERE

Note – If you have not previously registered with the Blood Center, you will be asked to create an account and then will be directed to the online registration to select a donation time.
