SAN FRANCISCO - A new blood drive isn't just about saving lives but changing misconceptions.

The campaign is called "Muslims for Life."

Blood drives are being held across the nation, including here in California's Bay Area, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Event sponsors say it's their way of remembering all the lives lost on nine-eleven by saving lives through a blood drive. They're also hoping to try to change any misunderstandings about their community.

"For us, it's a matter of continuing to educate Americans, slowly but surely, to say 'here's what the truth is' and to demonstrate that through our actions," Muhammed Chaudhry, a blood-drive supporter, said.

The goal is to save 30,000 lives through 10,000 bags of blood.
