Public Service Announcement #1

National Platelet Donation Awareness Week Public Service Announcement (or Community Service or Bulletin Board Announcement):30

Who do you think of when you hear the word "hero"? A famous athlete? A movie star? Every day in our community, real life heroes save the lives of children and adults with cancer and other medical conditions by donating a portion of their blood called platelets. Platelets are a part of the blood that help us to stop bleeding, and many people being treated for their illness don't have enough of their own to survive.

Your local blood bank can tell you more about how you can become a hero. Please call them at :[local center phone number].

The person next to you on the bus may be one. Your neighbor may be one. Your boss may be one. They may be the real life heros, who save lives every day, by becoming a platelet donor. Contact your local blood bank to learn more about how you can become a hero.
