According to a Louis Harris poll conducted in 1998, sixty-eight (68%) of
people who donated in the last year said they had no plans to donate in
the next 12 month.
It is
estimated that 75% of the population will need blood at some point in
their lifetime. Yet less than 5% of the eligible population donates!
