Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive

The Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive will take place on Tuesday, May 13, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Radnor Township Municipal Building and will give donors an easy opportunity to help save a life while also supporting two important local organizations. For every unit of blood that is collected, Carol’s family will make contributions to support the Women’s Resource Center and Francisvale Home for Smaller Animals. If the blood drive collection surpasses last year’s total of 117 units, the family will double their donations to these groups. To schedule an appointment, visit www.chablooddrive.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (mention sponsor code “CHAMemorial”).

All presenting donors at the blood drive will receive a gift bag, t-shirt, and free entry into a prize drawing. Appointments are available at 15-minute intervals throughout the day.

This blood drive will save lives and help two Radnor-based organizations carry out their important work. The Women’s Resource Center offers numerous services to support women, strengthen families, and build communities. Francisvale Home for Smaller Animals is a no-kill animal shelter that works to find permanent homes for cats and dogs.

Every unit of donated blood can be separated into components that can be given to as many as three patients, meaning that one donor can help save three lives. Only volunteer blood donors can ensure that blood products are available for anyone who needs them, for any reason, in the days and weeks ahead.
