“At the end of every year, we come upon 2 weeks in which our blood drives go from 70 down to 8, so it’s a very difficult couple of weeks to collect blood.”

“We have found that by having the WHIO Morning Show with Larry Hansgen out there at the blood center, we are able to get the word out.”

“We have Larry come out the first week of the year, and he let’s people know that it’s an important way to support the community.”

“The advertising works, it gets the word out. Because Larry says to come in and donate, they do. Our results have been fantastic.”
