Worldwide, about 92 million blood donations are made each year. But according to the World Health Organization, more than 70 countries have blood donation rates that are considered less than necessary to meet basic blood needs. In the United States, about 38 percent of the population is eligible to give blood, but only a fraction actually donates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood,&#8221; said Whitman. &#8220;Patients with emergency and ongoing medical needs depend on blood from volunteer donors to help save their lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Volunteer blood donors who give on a regular basis are the silent and unsung heroes who help save lives every day through their blood donations,&#8221; said Whitman. &#8220;In a world that&#8217;s getting more complex every day, it&#8217;s nice to know the simple act of giving blood can make a huge difference.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Come to donate now through June 30 and be entered into a region-wide monthly drawing for a $500 gasoline gift card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPCOMING AMERICAN RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVES IN YOUR AREA<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00b7 Monday, June 18, from noon until 4 p.m. at Tomkinson BMW, located at 929 Avenue of Autos in Fort Wayne.
