City of Hope Blood Drive

In memory of the lives lost on 9/11, COH is seeking to collect 911 blood/platelet donations in the month of September. Would you consider donating blood? 

Newport Harbor Lutheran Church is hosting a blood drive event on Sunday, September 22 from 8am-2pm in Newport Beach (look up zip code 92663 on the appointment website, www.iDonateBlood4Hope.org). 

The In-N-Out truck will be on-site to provide lunch for all donors (between 11am-1pm only), plus an additional $5 In-N-Out gift card given for donating (anytime 8am-2pm). Walk-in donors welcome. Appointments highly recommended. Child care provided for parents who are donating.

Be The Match bone marrow registry will also be available for those interested in becoming a bone marrow donor. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will also be present to receive a donation in any amount toward life-saving cancer research and a complimentary In-N-Out meal will be provided for donors (11am-1pm).

Please contact nurse@nhlcs.org or 562-818-3625 for any questions or for help setting up a blood donation appointment.

Thank you for your support!
