Dunkin Donuts is running a special promotion for anyone donating a pint of blood in the month of January.
January is Blood Donation Month, and the blood donations are typically lower in the winter. If you would like to find out where you can donate blood, please Click Here.From the Dunkin Donuts Website, below is more information about this important drive.
Why Are We Giving Away a Pound of Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee?
Well, two reasons, really. First, we want to thank our volunteer blood donors for literally giving of themselves to help others in need.
Second, winter is a time when blood donations can drop to dangerously low levels. It’s the flu and snow season after all! If the promise of the best coffee in the world helps encourage donors to brave the cold, it’s worth the investment.
Why Is My Blood Donation So Important?
When patients need blood to help save their lives, they need it immediately. So when blood donations drop, this leaves patients at risk. We're talking about patients undergoing cancer treatment, premature babies, accident victims, stroke and heart attack victims, patients undergoing organ transplants.... The list goes on, and may include you or someone you know.But there’s one thing everyone on this list has in common: patients in need of blood rely entirely on the generosity of strangers like you.
Think you like great coffee enough to come out in the cold? Trust us: the warmth of your free pound of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is really just an added bonus. It doesn’t compare with the warmth you’ll feel knowing you may have just helped save up to three lives! In fact, we hope you’ll make a new, lifesaving habit.
