MY BLOOD DONATION
GET THIS....before today, IF my mom or daughter (who have the same blood type) ever needed blood, I could NOT give it to them! But today, I can! 40+ yr ban on gay/bi men has been lifted. See the story tonight @ 5:30 on @6abc. @RedCross @RedCrossPhilly @US_FDA

[CHA Blood Drive @CHABloodDrive]

As of May 11, 2023, the FDA has dropped all restrictions specific to gay and bisexual men donating blood. The American Red Cross is in the process of making procedural changes necessary to implement this guidance as soon as possible. More information:

Please support The Shipley School at their blood drive this Friday! The Shipley community was always so supportive of the drives our family sponsored there, and we are thrilled to see the tradition continue!

Great job by these students! It's wonderful to see the next generation of blood donors stepping up all around the region! @PenncrestAP

We wish all of our friends and supporters a very happy and healthy 2022! Although we may not see you as frequently as we used to, we hope that you will continue to donate blood (as we will!).

@davidmurphy6abc Congratulations on your retirement! Everyone here at CHA Memorial wishes you all the best. We are “retiring” as well - the last CHA Memorial Blood Drive will be 10/7 in Wayne, PA. If you’re eligible, we’d love to see you one more time. Thank you for your support over the years!

[CHA Blood Drive @CHABloodDrive]

@davidmurphy6abc @6abc Thanks for always keeping us informed! As you know, blood donors have to plan ahead more than 7 days--so wanted to tell you that our blood drives are winding down (see: https://t.co/Nnw2FagJur); we'd love to see you for our last drive on 10/7 in Haverford Twp if you're eligible!

[CHA Blood Drive @CHABloodDrive]

Our next drive will take place on 10/7 at The Haverford Reserve CREC. Please note that this Thursday, 8/12, is the last day to make a whole blood donation and be eligible to donate again on 10/7! October may be our last drive in this area; learn more: https://t.co/Nnw2FagJur.
