East Brunswick Rescue Squad’s June 5th Blood Drive to provide free back massages to blood donors
EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ The East Brunswick Rescue Squad is holding a blood drive with NJ Blood Services on Saturday, June 5th from 9am to 3pm. The blood drive will be at the East Brunswick Rescue Squad’s building which is located on the corner of Cranbury and Summerhill Roads in East Brunswick (diagonally across from Pep Boys). Our state’s blood supply has again reached critical levels and donations are desperately needed. In addition, every donor will be offered a free 10 minute sitting back massage done by a professional massage therapist on site. The American Institute of Alternative Medicine of East Brunswick will be donating the services of their massage therapists between 10am and 2pm. In order to be eligible for massage, donors are only asked to make a reservation by either calling John at 732-387-8388 or going directly online to the NJ Blood Services web site that has been specifically set up for this drive. That site is located at:
https://drm.nybloodcenter.org/PublicScheduler/GroupWelcome.aspx?Group=64492
You can also reach this site by visiting the East Brunswick Rescue Squad’s web site at www.ebrs.org. Either way, reservations are highly encouraged as they allow us to anticipate the turnout so that we have the proper resources available. If you are interested in saving a life and putting a little relaxation into yours, this is a great way to do it. Please stop by the squad and donate a pint and get relaxed. If you have further questions, please contact John at 732-387-8388.
