Scott Asner, a Kansas City-based real estate investor, highlighted the importance of blood donation to help raise awareness around National Blood Donor Month.
LEAWOOD, Kan., Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In recognition of National Blood Donor Month, Scott Asner, a respected Kansas City investor and Founding Principal of Eighteen Capital Group, is highlighting the critical importance of blood donation and expressing gratitude to the selfless donors who contribute to saving lives.
"Blood donation is a simple yet profoundly impactful act that can mean the difference between life and death for countless individuals," said Asner. "I am deeply appreciative of those who take the time to donate and encourage others to consider participating in this life-saving effort."
National Blood Donor Month, which has been observed in the United States each January since 1970, serves as a reminder of the constant need for blood and platelets, especially during the winter months when donations often decline.
Hospitals and emergency services rely on regular contributions to maintain adequate supplies for patients in need of surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency care. Every year, an estimated 6.8 million Americans donate blood – approximately 3% of the eligible adult population. While those donors are to be commended, there is the need for more: every two seconds, an American needs blood.
Asner emphasized the importance of community involvement, noting that even a single donation can save up to three lives. "As a member of the Kansas City community, I believe we all have a role to play in supporting our neighbors and contributing to the well-being of our city. Donating blood is a powerful way to make a difference."
