Blood Drive to Benefit Evanston Police Officer 
EVANSTON, IL- The men and women of the Evanston Police and Fire Departments will be hosting a replenishment blood drive and fundraiser for one of their own, Police Officer Joseph Bush, who is in critical condition at Lutheran General Hospital. 
Officer Joseph Bush was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago and required numerous blood transfusions. He remains in critical, but stable condition. To track his progress or to donate to help his wife and two young children, please go to the “Get well Joey Bush web site” at http://getwelljoeybush.typepad.com.
The date of the drive will be December 14 from 11a.m-6 p.m. at the Evanston Fire Department Headquarters located at 909 Lake Street in Evanston. 
Blood donors of all types are needed everyday; from critically ill patients, accident victims, people needing surgery and to those patients suffering chronic diseases such as cancer and leukemia.   Blood donors must be at least 16 years old (with a parental consent form) or older, weigh 110 lbs and be in general good health.  There is no upper age limit and most medications are accepted.  Please make sure to have breakfast or lunch prior to donating and bring identification with you. Only 30 minutes of your time can help save lives! 

All donors will receive a free cholesterol screening, blood pressure reading and iron screening! Giving blood will not only help save another person’s life but possibly yours. When you give blood, it is regenerating new red blood cells in your body. Think of it as an oil change for your body! 
Contact Detective Tracy Williams from the Evanston Police at 847/833-5217 or Sabina Schleiss from LifeSource at 847/682-8394 to schedule an appointment or to ask any questions. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. Please feel free to invite guests, all donors are welcome.
