GLENDALE--The Armenian National Committee - Glendale Chapter in
collaboration with the City of Glendale's Week of Remembrance
Committee, Armenian Relief Society-Sepan Chapter and the American
Red Cross will host its fourth annual blood drive in commemoration
of the Armenian Genocide.
The event will take place on Sunday, April 19, 2009 from 10:00AM -
4:00PM at St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church, Hall (500 S Central
Ave., Glendale, CA.)
"ANC Glendale's annual blood drive has become a great tradition in
the City of Glendale. Last year, we set a new record for the most
first time donors received through any blood drive by the American
Red Cross," stated Elen Asatryan, Executive Director of the Armenian
National Committee Glendale Chapter (ANC-G). "We hope to build upon
last year's accomplishments and set a good trend of blood donation
among the community to help offset the shortage of the much needed
blood in our local hospitals."
The blood drive will benefit patients treated at Glendale Memorial
and Glendale Adventist. Appointments are encouraged, walk-ins are
welcome. To be eligible to donate blood you must be at least 16
years of age and weigh a minimum of 110 pounds; valid identification
is required.
"We commend the Armenian National Committee for their support of our
life-saving mission and we appreciate their efforts in helping us
maintain a sage and adequate blood supply," stated Clifford Numark,
American Red Cross Blood Services Donor Recruitment Director. "Together
we can have a substantial impact on the availability of blood for
accident victims, cancer patients, premature babies, burn patients,
or our friends and neighbors who may need regular blood transfusions
in order to live."
ANC Glendale encourages residents to log on to www.givelife.org and
enter sponsor code, ANCGlendale to make an appointment. For more
