National Gay Blood Drive Day
07.09.15
By Mimi Ngo
Blood donations are always in high demand in order to save lives in need.
This Friday, July 10 from 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. for National Gay Blood Drive Day, The LGBT Center on 4th Street in Santa Ana is hosting a blood drive with the Red Cross allowing gay and bisexual men to bring allies who will donate blood on their behalf and to raise awareness towards an FDA donation ban.
The FDA currently does not accept donations from men who have had male-to-male sexual relations.
An optional petition will also be available to sign in attempt to lift the donation ban by the FDA.
To sign up, visit redcrossblood.org and use the sponsor code: CenterOC
LGBT Center on 4th at 305 East 4th Street in Santa Ana.
