Woof! Give Blood!

Friends of Powell County's Pets would like everyone to know that we are participating in the Kentucky Blood Center's Charity Challenge.  First place charity receives $3000, and second place receives $1500.  Either one would help us save many animals if we won.  In order to win, we need your help!

Here's how:  a whole blood donation earns 1 point for current KBC donors.  If you are a first time don or, you earn an extra 2 points.  An automated donation (double red, plasma, platelets) is worth 3 points.  You can donate at any Kentucky Blood Center location or any KBC mobile blood drive.

Powell County will be having a community blood drive at the Powell County Extension office in Stanton on May 8.  Before you donate, tell the staff that you are donating for FOPCP, and we will get points!  Montgomery County and Clark County also have blood drives during the month of May.  The details are here:

To prove that we're putting our arms where our mouths are, one of our members is already committed to 3 platelet donations during May -- that's 9 points from one donor!

Please spread the word and make your good deed of donating blood go a little further!  Thank you!!
