Fangs A Lot!

by Lisa Bloch, Director of Communications, avid NPR listener, and lover of all things creepy and ghoulish

What’s scarier than a haunted house, Count Dracula or eating way too much candy this Halloween?

Blood shortages (and that’s all year through)!

While everyone’s thinking candy corn, costumes and trick-or-treating, BCP’s thinking constantly of something that’s frightfully true – less than 4 percent of people donate blood.

Vampire Barbara Mendoza of Boston Properties was one of the many blood drive coordinators who helped us out this Halloween.  Organizing a blood drive at the Embarcadero Center, donors - we call them everyday heroes - came to help save lives and to enter the Costume Contest! All donors were also entered into a raffle to win some cool prizes.

To Barbara Mendoza, all our blood drive coordinators and blood donors, we’d like to say, “Fangs a lot” (oh, that was corny … maybe candy corny?) and here’s wishing y’all a Safe and Happy Halloween!

Donating blood…it’s not as scary as you think!
