CHARLESTON – The South Carolina Department of Public Safety announces the following event:

 

Who:               SCDPS Families of Highway Fatalities (who we are attached)

 

What:             “100 Deadly Days of Summer” Blood Drive in memory of those lost on our highways

 

Background: Every summer, blood donations decrease as regular donors leave town for vacations. Unfortunately, motor vehicles collisions, which is one of the leading reasons people need blood, increase significantly during summer travel months.

When:             Monday, July 2, 2007, 1 p.m.-7 p.m.

 

Where:           Fuddrucker’s Restaurant, 1801 Bush River Road

 

** Donors are strongly encouraged to sign up for an appointment on-line ahead of time at: www.givelife.org or www.donatebloodtoday.org. The sponsor code is “FHF.”
