Did you know...every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood

Did you know...a single car accident victim can require as many as 100 units of blood

Did you know...25% of the blood supply is used by patients battling cancer

Did you know...only 3% of the population donates blood each year

When you add all of these up, it becomes apparent why the US is in a blood shortage. This Valentine's Day (Friday, February 14th), the Gower community is coming together to give back by hosting a blood drive at Gower West. Please sign up and help us help our community.
