Give Life; Give Blood

Blood for tranfusions is always needed, but the need is especially great this time of year, when many regular donors are heading for summer vacations. Consider donating your blood at one of the area's many bloodmobile events. Donors must be at least 17 years old, at least 110 pounds, and in good health. You may give blood every 56 days. For a list of upcoming Red Cross events, see:

• In Cuyahoga County
• In Ashtabula County
• In Geauga County
• In Lake County
• In Lorain County
• In Summit County

Giving blood is just one way to make a difference in Cleveland
