Our eighth annual ‘Give 2 Live’ Blood Drive is now happening inside the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa until 7 p.m.
United Blood Services says they're always in need of extra donations during the summer, because about a fifth of donations come from schools, and also more people are on vacation during this time.
They're hoping to collect 200 units of blood "There's nothing like the feel good experience from donating a pint of blood and knowing it could help up to three people in our community needing a blood transfusion,” says Steve Thomas, Manager of Regional Donor Recruitment, UBS.
As of 4:45 p.m, we have collected 151 units of blood. Last year, we received a total of 204 units.
Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you don’t want to wait, you can make an appointment online.

One pint of blood can save up to three lives!
We hope to see you there!
