Bloodmobile in Richmond Beach during Saturday's Celebrations

By Tom Petersen

The Puget Sound Blood Center's big bus will be at the corner of Richmond Beach Road and 20th Ave NW from 10am to 4pm this Saturday, May 10, during the "Celebrate Richmond Beach" festivities. 

They'll be ready for lots of donors before the Strawberry Festival, lots of donors after the Car Show, and lots of donors in between!

It's how we roll!

Looking for 40 to Roll'em Up!

After six years of holding regular blood drives, the Richmond Beach neighborhood is closing in on the 1000th registration and the distinction of having collected 100 gallons for lifesaving and research. The big bus can accommodate up to 40 donors, with less waiting for walk-ups and faster processing of those with appointments. People who want to be sure not to miss other fun this Saturday can make an appointment for a particular time at the website.

Great giveaways add to the fun! 

While supplies last, blood donors in Richmond Beach this Saturday can take home one PSBC goodie as a Thank You for giving the gift of life: 

Free swag while supplies last!
Earphones

Earbuds! In a handy, compact PSBC carry case, the better to keep from losing them or cutting or pinching the cord! 

The famous PSBC Give Twice cookbook! Now in its third printing, good recipes for healthy donors with a reminder to make giving blood a recurring event! 

One lucky adult size medium gets a PSBC logo T-shirt, in genuine hipster gray, with a picture of the very bus s/he just visited!
