Boulder Staff Council is hosting blood drives over the next two weeks:

10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Jan. 30-31, University Memorial Center (UMC), Rooms 382-386

10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 8-9, UMC Rooms 382-386

To schedule an appointment to donate, go to www.bonfils.org and use site code 0248 for donation location, or call Bonfils Appointment Center, 303-363-2300.

The need for blood is constant. Bonfils Blood Center needs thousands of blood donors each week to meet Colorado’s needs and to be prepared for unexpected events. All blood types are needed and new blood donors are invited to join the Bonfils family.

For general information about blood donor eligibility, visit http://www.bonfils.org/donate_blood/eligibility/. For questions, call Bonfils’ Donor Relations
department at 303-363-2202 or 800-365-0006, option 1.

Did you know there is another way you can save lives? Each year thousands of people are diagnosed with diseases like leukemia and lymphoma for which a stem cell or marrow transplant could be the only cure. About 70 percent of these people are unable to find a donor match within their family and must search for an unrelated donor on the Be the Match registry. Join the registry through Bonfils’ Colorado Marrow Donor Program. It's easy and saves lives.
