Be A Hero Did you know that every 3 seconds someone needs blood and that just 1 pint of donated blood can help save as many as 3 lives? Blood is in short supply during summer and winter vacation months, so we are urging all Touchstone members and friends to show up at Touchstone Concord on August 24th to participate in our 1st Annual Blood Drive.

If you are wondering who can participate, anyone who is in good health, is at least 17 years old, and weighs at least 110 pounds may donate blood every 56 days. It only takes 10 minutes to draw the blood, but expect the whole process to take 45 minutes, including time to rest and eat cookies! You can also check here for more information on requirements to donate.

All blood donors will receive a coupon for a pint of free ice cream, a free day pass to use for themselves or give to a friend, as well as be entered into a raffle to win some great prizes! Those folks who call ahead to reserve a spot will have priority on the night of the drive so please call (925) 602-1000 and sign up to save a life!
