The Central Ohio Chapter services 22 Counties an approx. 700 consumers.
Our challenges we face today: Awareness of our cause, we are only 25,000 consumers nationwide but our expenses are approx. $300,000 – $500,000 annually for about ½ of this population (that over 5.6 billion blood cost). Ohio has approx. 2100 consumers (almost 10% of the nation) Ohio has over 1100 consumers under the age of 18 and is growing at a rate of 20% per year. We are focus on our youth and the safety of our current and future blood supply.
