U.P. Regional Blood Center holding Everyday Hero Day
The Upper Peninsula Regional Blood Center at Marquette General Health System is sponsoring Everyday Hero Day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26, at the Blood Center located at 437 W. College Avenue next to Marquette General Hospital.
“One pint of blood can save up to three lives, so without donors a lot of lives would be lost,” said Sallie Coron, blood donor recruiter at the U.P. Regional Blood Center. “We want to recognize our donors by giving them this day because we consider our blood donors heroes, and they make our jobs a lot easier.”
There will be free refreshments and food provided to donors, who will also be eligible to win $25.00 gas cards. The first 100 donors will receive a free T-shirt and a Jilbert Dairy coupon.
The Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO), Q107 WMQT, Pepsi, Starbucks, Jilbert Dairy and Econo Foods are sponsoring the event. Q107 WMQT will offer live remote coverage from
12 – 6 p.m.
The U.P. Regional Blood Center at MGH provides blood products to 13 Upper Peninsula hospitals, including Marquette General.
For more information, call the U.P. Regional Blood Center at 225-4610 or 1-800-491-4483 (GIVE).
