Inspire Federal Credit Union to Host “Bleed Purple Blood Drive” on February 13th
Bristol, PA (January 2016) – The Bristol branch of Inspire
Federal Credit Union will once again be the site of the Inspire
FCU Bleed Purple Blood Drive, an American Red Cross
partnership that will take place Saturday, February 13, 2016
from 9am-2pm. The event is open to the entire Bucks County
community and will feature free food and beverages, special
discounts to local businesses, and Inspire FCU giveaways.
Inspire FCU‟s previous blood drive resulted in enough blood to
save the lives of over 200 people. All the donors were either
members of Inspire FCU or residents of the Bucks County
community.
“Inspire has always been dedicated to supporting the Bucks County community,” said Inspire FCU‟s
President/CEO Jim Merrill. “When you give blood you are literally providing a life-saving service to the
community. There‟s nothing more important than that.”
More than 4.5 million patients need blood transfusions each year in the United States and Canada.
According to the National Blood Collection and Utilization Survey Report, about 37 out of every 100
Americans are eligible to donate blood – but only 3 to 4 people actually donate each year.
All eligible donors are welcome to contribute at the Bleed Purple Blood Drive. Walk-ins are welcome, but
advance registration is preferred to avoid long wait times. All potential donors must bring a driver‟s
license and/or a donor card.
According to Inspire FCU, all potential and eligible donors will receive a coupon for a free pound of coffee
from Dunkin‟ Donuts.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the blood drive, contact Kyrus Keenan
Westcott, Inspire FCU‟s Community Involvement Manager, via email at [email protected], or via
phone at 267-548-7008.
