Vitalant Holding a September 11th Blood Drive

Non-profit blood organization Vitalant is partnering with the Atlantis Casino-Resort to host a blood drive to honor firefighters and healthcare workers Sept. 11th. From 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., they will be honoring those workers, as well as those who gave blood in the aftermath of the attacks. The organization is also calling on members of the public to donate blood as the nationwide blood shortage still grips the healthcare system. People interested in donating can call Vitalant at 775-329-6451 for an appointment. The September 11th even will also have a bloodmobile. Donors will be eligible for various prizes and will be given an American Flag Pin and a scoop of Gelato.
