STARVE A MOSQUITO!   Donate Blood.

As part of the Bill Gladstone Group of NAI CIR’s efforts to become more involved in the Harrisburg community, the Group teamed with the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank online (CPBB) for their second annual Blood Drive on Thursday, July 16.

It was a very successful drive this year
with 32 registered individuals and 27 pints collected.

CPBB was incorporated in 1960 as a
not-for-profit, community based blood program. The organization provides over 99% of the blood transfused in 14 mid-state hospitals.  

In the coming year, CPBB needs to collect 80,000 pints of blood to meet the needs of area hospitals.

If you would like to donate blood visit the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank online to learn more about how you can help.

Diane Grey from the MIX-N-GO Morning Show on Mix 106.7 was at the blood drive all morning informing listeners about this great opportunity to help save lives.

There were plenty of free goodies and giveaways. Mix 106.7 was handing out mugs, stickers and T-shirts. Everyone in attendance was entered into a chance to win one of two $25 gas gift cards, along with coupons to local restaurants.

Sharon Messerschmidt from Mechanicsburg, PA was the recipient of the Sheetz Gas Card, and Terry Shriver from Mechanicsburg, PA was the winner of the Rutter’s Gas Card.

Bill Gladstone also took the time to give blood...while talking on the phone and returning emails. (below)
