Donate platelets with Atlanta Blood Services to save patients locally and you could win a 3 month membership to LA Fitness

2013 is right around the corner and many of us will be
compiling our New Year's resolutions for the upcoming year. We hope that donating platelets makes your list of goals to accomplish! Every year, fitness is listed as one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions that people make. What about you? Is fitness on your list? How would you like to win a 3 month membership to LA Fitness? You could, just by donating platelets with Atlanta Blood Services.


Atlanta Blood Services will be raffling off two (3) month
memberships a week for the entire month of January. Memberships start in February of 2013. We will also be raffling off some personal training sessions! You will have 3 months to decide if the LA Fitness lifestyle is for you and can choose to continue your membership.

January tends to be a slower month in the blood industry, so we need you! If you know of any friends or family members who would be interested in donating
please feel free to forward this email on and help spread the word. Atlanta Blood Services has two locations, our main office is next door to Northside Hospital and our secondary office is in Marietta. To make an appointment please call (404) 459-8744. Give Blood. Give Life.


Since 1998, Atlanta Blood Services (ABS) has been Atlanta’s true community blood donation center, using state-of-the-art technology to provide quality blood components exclusively to local patients in need of these life-saving resources. ABS––whose patients include children, trauma victims, cancer and leukemia patients, and those undergoing bone marrow and stem cell
transplant therapy––fosters intimate patient-donor relationships in an effort to make Atlanta’s blood supply self-sufficient. ABS has offices in Cobb County and at Northside Hospital in Dunwoody, and conducts community blood  drives at businesses, churches, and schools across Greater Atlanta.
