On September 1, Credit Union 1's Fairbanks University Branch will be hosting a blood drive for Blood Bank of Alaska. If you'd like to donate blood, please contact Juanita Tedder, Branch Manager, at (907) 455-8410.
"Approximately 3000 people must donate blood each month for Blood Bank of Alaska to assure an adequate supply for patients in area hospitals. That's about 100 units of whole blood and plateletpheresis each day.
Statistics show that one out of every three people will need a blood transfusion during their lifetime. Last year, thousands of patients received the “gift of life” from our donors. Over 25,000 whole blood and plateletpheresis donations are made to the Blood Bank of Alaska each year."
