Fox Valley Orthopedics to host blood drive

Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Accident victims, cancer patients, and those with blood disorders rely on these lifesaving donations every day.

To help maintain an adequate blood supply in the Fox Valley area, residents are encouraged to participate in the Versiti Blood Center of Illinois blood drive from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 28, at the mobile coach outside Fox Valley Orthopedics, 2535 Soderquist Court, Geneva. Walk-ins are welcome, though registration is encouraged at www.fvortho.com/~/blood-drive/.

Donors will need a non-expired photo ID at the time of donation. As a thank you, Panera Bread is providing a healthy to-go meal, and all donors will be entered into a raffle drawing.

The blood drive is sponsored by Fox Valley Orthopedics and Fox Valley Orthopedics Physical Therapy.
