1:00pm - 6:45pm 261 Broad Street, Windsor, CT 06095 This meaningful Shad Derby Blood Drive is sponsored by the Windsor Chamber of Commerce each year as part of the Windsor Shad Derby Festivities. Many generous Americans nationwide have been donating blood since the terrorist attacks September 11 to ensure a sustained and secure blood supply for all Americans. Together with the Red Cross, these blood heroes are ensuring that the safest possible blood is readily available whenever and wherever needed - for the military, for other blood centers in America and for all 5,000 of America's hospitals. We all expect blood to be there for us, but barely a fraction of those who can give do. Yet sooner or later, virtually all of us will face a time of great vulnerability in which we will need blood. And that time is all too often unexpected. From its beginning, the American Red Cross has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves. The honor, spirit and resources of the American people comes forth with neighbors helping neighbors in need - during earthquakes, floods, fires, storms - and also for the deeply personal and often quiet disasters that require a gift of blood. For more information on how you can make a difference please call the Windsor Chamber of Commerce at 860-688-5165 or go to their website and register on-line    | |||||||
