-Every 60 seconds, a patient in Canada needs blood
-Donated blood lasts no longer than 42 days. Due to its limited shelf life, maintaining an adequate national inventory level is critical
-100,000 new blood donors are needed every year to meet the needs of patients across Canada
-It takes teamwork to help patients. It could take up to 50 donors to help save a crash victim, eight donors a week to help treat someone with leukemia and five donors to help someone through heart surgery
-Donate blood three times in a single year and score your very own #HockeyGivesBlood hat trick. It's a quick and simple way to make a difference in your community
-Book now to donate at blood.ca/HGB, call 1 888 2 DONATE or download the GiveBlood app
Come out and join your community in donating blood at this event.
