KTI October Blood Drive Collects 26 Pints

A Message from Karen Altland, KTI Medical Department...

October 22nd was a banner day for the Central Penn Blood Bank because KTI students worked to collect a total of 26 pints of blood.

I would personally like to thank all the students who participated by donating blood, providing food, or walking the donors. All the help was greatly appreciated.

Every 2 seconds, someone somewhere is in need of blood. According to the statistics of BBC 2005, one person dies every six minutes and 10 are injured in the same time frame. Non-availability of blood is the major cause of death. Your contributions helped save lives that otherwise might be lost.
