Give the Gift of Life: Join Us for a Blood Drive at Echelon Health & Fitness

At Echelon Health & Fitness, we’re more than just a fitness center—we’re a community that cares. We believe in coming together to support one another, and that’s why we’re excited to host a blood drive in partnership with the American Red Cross. On Sunday, August 25, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., we invite you to join us at our Center Studio in Voorhees, NJ, to make a life-saving difference.

Why Your Blood Donation Matters

Blood is essential for life, and the need for blood donations is constant. Whether it's for surgeries, cancer treatments, chronic illnesses, or traumatic injuries, the demand for blood is always present. Unfortunately, there’s no substitute for human blood. That’s why your donation is so vital.

If you are an eligible type O, B-, or A- donor, your donation is even more critical. Consider making a Power Red donation, which collects red blood cells—the most commonly transfused blood component—while returning plasma and platelets to you. This type of donation can help even more patients in need.

What to Expect

Our blood drive will take place in a comfortable and welcoming environment at Echelon Health & Fitness. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by our friendly team and Red Cross professionals who will guide you through the donation process. You can even streamline your experience by completing a RapidPass® online before you arrive, allowing you to read the pre-donation materials and answer the health history questions in advance.

After donating, you’ll have a chance to relax and enjoy refreshments as you recover. Plus, as a special thank you, all blood donors in August will receive a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card by email!
