Remington College Holds Nationwide Effort to Recruit Minority Blood Donors
Remington College-Honolulu Campus blood drive
set for April 5th
Honolulu, Hawaii – (March 23, 2010) – Remington College-Honolulu Campus is holding the first in a series of local blood drives to recruit more blood donors to benefit Honolulu residents in need of blood.
The first blood drive will be held on Monday, April 5th from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as part of National Minority Health Month.
Remington College is joining forces with America’s Blood Centers and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America for the blood drives. The effort is called 3 Lives – because three lives may be saved for every one pint of blood donated.
Nationally, the blood drives will focus on the need for minority donors – especially African Americans. According to America’s Blood Centers, the need for African American blood donors is very high.
While the national focus is on recruiting minority donors, everyone is encouraged to attend the drive and donate blood. All the blood collected will be used to help people in the Honolulu area.
Remington College-Honolulu Campus is located at 1111 Bishop Street, Suite 400 in Honolulu.
