Students Saving Summer!
Local students have the opportunity to earn scholarships by organizing and hosting a successful blood drive through our Saving Summer Scholarship program.
Scholarships are awarded to the top three students that collect the most units during the months of June, July, August and September. Winners will each be awarded a $1,000 scholarship made payable directly to the college, university or other learning establishment of choice.
Pints for Patriots
This summer, please join CBCC as we show our support for the military and their families. When you donate blood between May 1 and July 31, 2012, CBCC will make a contribution to charities that help wounded veterans. With each donation, you can be a hero to a local patient and show a hero how much you appreciate their service.
We all have the power to heal. It's in our blood.
You have the power to help cancer, transplant and trauma patients in our local hospitals. Please make an appointment to donate blood or platelets, or support CBCC by sponsoring a community blood drive.
We Need Your Help
Our local hospitals and patients depend on us for the blood products they need, and we depend on you for donations! Donating blood is one of the few ways you can make a huge impact in your community by truly giving of yourself.

Meet Dennis
Dennis started feeling sick one fall day after returning from a football game. After a visit to his doctor for tests, he was sent to an oncologist and diagnosed with aplastic anemia. After many rounds of chemotherapy and blood transfusions, Dennis received a bone marrow transplant from his brother, and he is now free of the disease.
