YEREVAN, APRIL 19, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian National Committee of
America - Glendale in partnership with the City of Glendale's Week
of Remembrance Committee, the American Red Cross, the Armenian Youth
Federation - Roupen, and the Homenetmen - Ararat will organize the
8th annual blood drive in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.
As reported by Armenpress, quoting Asbarez, the event would take
place on Sunday, April 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.at St. Mary's Armenian
Church Hall.
"This annual blood drive honors those who perished during the
Armenian Genocide of 1915 while assisting our local hospitals,"
stated ANCA-Glendale Chairman, Berdj Karapetian.
According to the American Red Cross, less than 2 to 3% of the eligible
donors in Southern California donate blood. One pint of blood can
save up to 3 lives and about every 2 seconds someone needs a blood
transfusion. The April 21st blood drive will benefit patients treated
at 150 Southern California hospitals. Appointments are encouraged,
walk-ins are welcome. To be eligible to donate blood you must be at
least 17 years of age (16 with parental consent) and weigh a minimum
of 110 pounds; valid identification is required.
The ANCA-Glendale advocates for the social, economic, cultural,
and political rights of the city's Armenian American community and
promotes increased civic participation at the grassroots and public
policy levels.
