Our friends at Vitalant have done the math and they tell us that every 2 seconds, someone in America will need blood. It could be a little girl with leukemia. It could be the victim of an accident. It could be a lot of things. Vitalant supplies blood to around 900 hospitals in two dozen states. Two dozen hospitals who rely on Vitalant for their day-to-day and also their unimaginable blood needs. But one blood donation can save up to three lives. And Vitalant has a couple of blood drives here in town where you can potentially make that life-saving donation.
If you're in the mood to miss your flight out of Bozeman or sit around the gate area for an extra 45 minutes before your flight - ask a local what time you should show up at the airport. There's a very decent chance they'll give you crappy, non-detailed, and not particularly accurate advice.
