The resort fronts the Atlantic Ocean with a wide sandy beach while across the way on the west side, vacationers can gaze over the beautiful “We couldn’t be more proud to partner with the American Red Cross for the second consecutive year,” said Jordan Daniels, marketing manager for Bluewater Real Estate and Vacation Rentals. “We are so excited to be able to offer these beach vacations to those who give the ultimate gift—the gift of life.” The Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and platelets each weekday to meet hospital demand. Accident victims as well as patients with cancer, sickle cell disease, blood disorders and other illnesses receive lifesaving transfusions every day. There is no substitute for blood and volunteer donors are the only source. Blood can be safely donated every 56 days. Platelets can be safely given every two weeks, up to 24 times a year. Most healthy people age 17 and older, 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements.
