The next blood drive at Fisher Honda Kia is: Saturday, July 7th.
If you would like to participate, please call 303-998-6227 or email justin.g@fisherauto.com to schedule a time to make your donation.
The Bonfils bus will be at Fisher from 10:00 am - 3:30 pm.
Fisher Honda Kia, in conjunction with Bonfils Blood Center sponsors 3 to4 blood drives per year. These drives collect live-giving blood for use in emergencies, surgical procedures, and disaster relief. In about ten minutes, a donor can donate a unit of blood that will save and enhance the lives of up to three patients.
Many Fisher employees, along with local residents of the Boulder community participate in these drives. As volunteers, they understand the importance of their donations and the positive effect they have on the community and the Boulder-Denver mentor areas.
Remember, in the United States, someone needs a blood transfusion every 2 seconds. Bonfils Blood Center needs 4,350 blood donors each week to meet the needs of our community and to be prepared for unforeseen events. The drives at Fisher Honda Kia are a small part of the total effort, but every little bit helps.
We are asking for your help in making this the largest blood drive we have ever sponsored. Your blood is a priceless gift of life for someone in need.
