We at Louisville Public Media would like you to donate. No, it’s not our pledge drive, it’s a blood drive.

Come to our building at 619 S. 4th Street this Thursday from 10 to 2 to donate blood. Red Cross volunteers will be set up in the performance studio and you don’t need an appointment to see them.

We’re always giving stats on WFPL, and here are a few for the blood drive. Each pint of blood you donate can save up to three lives. Without donated blood for transfusions, 4 to 5 million Americans would die annually. And only 5% of eligible donors actually give blood.

Call 502-814-6500 if you have any questions or visit the Red Cross online to check your eligibility.
