Carter BloodCare Welcomes Frost Friends & Family
Together, the community and Carter BloodCare make it possible to save lives. Blood cannot be manufactured in a lab. It only comes from altruistic individuals who care about helping others. Hospitals have 600 to 800 patients a day that require transfusions, and 1,000 donors a day are needed to fulfill the hospitals’ orders for their patients.
Fewer blood drives and lower donor turnout is fueling the need for blood donors of all blood types.
Please join us during the Frost Bank Friends & Family week by scheduling an appointment at a donor center near you to #GiveForLife. Don’t forget to mention the Frost Bank sponsor code: SPON108700.
Make your appointment online for one of our 25 donor centers or call/text 800-366-2834.
