Would you like to help save a life?...Donating blood is one of the best ways!
Please join Alpha Nu Omega Fraternity Inc. , Greater Baltimore Chapter and The Synergy center as we host a Blood Drive.
The drive will be held on Sunday August 30th from 10am-4pm in the main Narthex of The Synergy Center Located at 6419 York Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21212.
The actual blood donation takes 8-10 minutes; however, the entire process, from registration to refreshment, will take approximately one hour. One pint of blood is given during the donation and it is quickly replaced by the body.
(A normal adult’s body has between 10 to 12 pints of blood)
* A free gift and snack will be given to each donor
