Register now for the Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive on October 15 & 16

If you know someone who has needed a blood transfusion--whether as a result of accident or injury, while undergoing treatment for cancer or another illness, or during surgery or childbirth--you know what a gift your blood donation can be for another person. Blood donors gave that gift to Wynnewood resident Carol Axelrod and her family as Carol battled multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, for five years. Carol's family members are grateful to the blood donors who allowed them to make memories with Carol that they will always treasure. Since 2008, they have held a blood drive in her memory to help other families spend more time with their loved ones. This year will mark the fifth annual blood drive held in Carol's memory. Please join us for this milestone drive!

All presenting donors at the Carol H. Axelrod Memorial Blood Drive will receive a gift bag, good food, free parking, free entry into a prize drawing, and more! Appointments are available every 15 minutes, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., on both days. Please join us on October 15 or 16 for a very special blood drive in memory of a very special woman!
