As a part of recognizing their 80th anniversary, the Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Company will be partnering with Central Blood Bank to sponsor a community blood drive at their Brightwood Road station on December 8, 2007 from 9am to 3pm.

Successful donors will be presented with a packet of valuable coupons and information from local merchants. Children are welcome and will be given fire house tours and apparatus demonstrations while adults complete their donation.

Appointments are recommended but walk-ins are always welcome. You may call John Clendenin at (412) 965-6195 or bpvfc275@comcast.net to schedule your appointment. You may also schedule online at www.cbbedonor.org and use group code F0010007.

Donors must be at least 17 years old, over 110 lbs, in good general health and have not donated blood in the last 56 days. As a reminder, please refrain from taking any aspirin product 48 hours prior to giving.
