American Red Cross Facts about blood donation:
A single blood donation can save up to three lives!!!
Every 2 seconds, someone in the US needs blood. 1 in 10 people entering the hospital need blood. The average transfusion uses 3.4 pints of blood.
A newborn baby has about one cup of blood in its body. An average adult body contains 10-12 pints of blood. A person can donate 5-6 times a year.
However, most people only donate about 1.4 times a year. Around 97% of us will need blood sometime in our life, but only 5% of medically eligible people donate blood.
You can make a difference the whole year through. Someone’s life could depend upon your donation.
