LONG BEACH (January 25, 2005) – Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and Western Fishing & Boating Radio are hosting their fourth annual “See a Whale, Save a Life” blood donation drive now through April 15th, 2005. The winter donation drive has the goal of collecting 1,200 pints of blood.
Anyone who donates a pint at the Long Beach Memorial Blood Donor Center will receive a certificate for a three-hour whale watch cruise in the winter aboard the Eldorado which docks out of Long Beach Sportfishing at Berth 55 in the port of Long Beach.
“Everyone can help save a life by donating a pint of blood,” said Emanuel Ferro, MD, medical director of the Blood Donor Center at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. “People might not think about making a blood donation during the winter, especially when the weather is bad, but blood is always in short supply. We appreciate the generous support from the owners of the Long Beach Sportfishing, as well as the fishing industry, to help make this blood drive a success.”
All donors will also be entered into a special grand prize drawing. The drawing will he held and announced on-the-air Friday, April 15, 2005 during the broadcast of Western Fishing and Boating Radio. The show can be heard on KMPC AM1540-The Ticket from 8 to 10 p.m. every Friday night.
