The 23rd Annual All Reno Radio Blood Drive held at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa on January 8 & 9, 2009 was a great success, delivering 555 units of badly needed blood! United Blood Services said this was one of the best All Reno Radio Blood Drives in years, delivering nearly 150 more units than last year! The All Reno Radio Blood Drive is a major event for United Blood Services in Reno, and we are grateful to all who donated their time and precious blood! Thanks go out to all the personnel from Americom Broadcasting & Reno Radio Representatives, Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, Wilks Reno, Lotus Radio, Entravision Communications Corporation, Lazer Broadcasting Corporation and Public Radio for making the blood drive such a success. Special thanks to Model Dairy and Sysco Food Services of Sacramento, who contributed refreshments to our donors!

January is recognized as National Blood Donor Month, but the best time to donate is always and often. Here in Reno, it takes about 125 units of blood to keep up with hospital's daily needs. So, please call and make an appointment to donate blood today, you never know when you or someone you love will need it. You can schedule an appointment to give the gift of life by calling United Blood Services at (775) 324-6454.
