The Strasburg Borough Police Department, along with other local departments, will again be participating in the Bleed Blue Challenge hosted by Penn Medicine LGH Blood Donation Center in January and February.  January is National Blood Donor Month, and this friendly competition between local departments is held in an effort to increase blood donations, which are desperately needed.  Last years Bleed Blue Challenge resulted in 784 units of blood being donated, with each unit being able to help up to three people!

Please consider making a lifesaving blood donation at any of the local LGH blood drive events or the LGH Blood Donation Center.  And while you're there make sure to mention you would like to show your support for the Strasburg Borough Police Department.  The department who generates the most donations by February 28th is presented with a plaque that is passed on from the previous year's winner to be displayed in their department.

To schedule a donation time, call 717-544-0177 or visit LGHealth Blood Drive Events.
