Support RoofSit by donating blood on Thursday

It seems almost unimaginable that someone would lay a hand on a child, yet it happens every day.

On Thursday, June 23rd, South Bend Medical Foundation will support U93’s efforts to prevent childabuse and bring awareness to the community by donating $5 for each unit of blood donated.

"As a not-for-profit organization, we realize how important it is to appeal to the community for support.  We feel that U93’s Roofsit is a great cause.

The summer months are a particularly hard time for the Foundation to attract blood donors, and we are hoping this partnership assists us with our blood supply while providing funds to prevent child abuse," said Kay Clark-Cox, Manager of Blood Donor Recruitment.

Anyone wishing to make an appointment to give blood at the blood drive during the Roofsit event at Martin’s Super Market, 2081 South Bend Avenue in South Bend on Thursday, June 23rd between 11am and 4pm may do so by visiting http://bit.ly/ROOFSIT.

Anyone who donates blood before August 26th or donates at the RoofSit blood drive will be eligible to win the 2012 Ford Focus.
