United Blood Services

You have a another chance to give blood and do some good right here on the South Plains as the 2014 'Blood Driver' rocks on.

I'm not going to sit here and sugar-coat it for you; we need all types of blood in a big way this week.

Today we'll set up shop for the week at United Blood Services as the 2014 Blood Driver gets underway.

We are only ten days away from the 2014 FMX and UBS 9th annual Blood Driver.

It's the last day of "Rock is in my Blood" 2013. Take a little time out and give the gift of life today.

Need a few reasons why you should take the time and donate Blood? Well, you could save a premature baby or someone who's been in an accident.

The 10th "Rock is in my Blood" blood drive is underway, and if you couldn't make it by today; you still have five more days to roll up your sleeve and give blood.

Your chance to be a hero this week begins today when the 10th Annual "Rock is in my Blood" kicks off at 48th/University.

The hours of operation have been set for the 2013 FMX "Rock is in My Blood" promotion.

The past five days, I have had the opportunity to meet some awesome people who came through the doors at United Blood Services during the annual Blood Driver event to donate.

As we head into day number five of the FMX Blood Driver, I am happy to say there has been a steady stream of awesome people taking time out of their busy schedules to help United Blood Services out by donating blood.

Every day local hospitals need between 110 to 140 units of blood to meet the needs of patients for various reason ranging from accidents to surgeries. Unfortunately, this time of year donations decrease because people get busy getting back into the school and work groove after the holidays and because of wide spread illnesses like the flu. However, the need for blood does not decrease.
