This week I’ve got a special blog post for a special purpose. Erie Blogs, a collection of about 100 blogs from Erie residents, is challenging its bloggers and visitors to donate blood this week. So I am rallying the Penguin Army and challenging you to donate this week at the Community Blood Bank.

Incentives:

• “One random donor as well as the blog that gets the most referrals will win a great prize basket with items donated by local businesses and organizations.”
• You can save lives. No superpowers needed.
• “This year, the Community Blood Bank is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary, and donors who participate will also be entered to win great prizes available as part of the Blood Bank’s anniversary.”
• Scared about the process? Read how simple it is.
• About 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, but only 5 percent do.
• Every donor gets a free snack when you’re done!

So let’s get out there, save some lives, and win some free loot! Tell them that Abstract Penguin Blog sent you!

The Community Blood Bank is located at 2646 Peach Street in Erie and is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.. On Tuesdays, the blood bank is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
