Hello,
Please allow me to begin by thanking everyone who took the time to
donate or volunteer at our February drive. We collected over 280 units
of blood. On behalf of the Red Cross, thank you for saving lives.
The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at MIT from Monday 4/23
through Wednesday 4/25 (NOTE only three days , in La Sala in the Student
Center. The drive will run from 1pm to 6pm Monday and Wednesday, and
8am to 6pm on Tuesday. We have lots of promotions this time; all donors
at our April drive will receive a free Best Buy T-shirt, New Balance
athletic socks, and a chance to enter a raffle for Red Sox tickets.
As drop date approaches (4/26), please make the time to drop what you
are doing and save a life.
The Red Cross relies on appointments to decide how many staff to
provide on a given day. Making appointments will decrease your wait,
and make the drive run faster as a whole (even if you can only tell us
what day you want to donate, and not what time during the day.) To
make an appointment, fill out the form at:
http://web.mit.edu/blood-drive/www/
If you cannot make an appointment please feel free to come to the
drive and donate anyway.
We can always use more volunteers to help out during the drive to get
people registered quickly and take some of the pressure off the Red
Cross workers. Even if you can't donate blood, you're encouraged to
donate some of your time to the drive. Some of the services that
volunteers may perform are registering donors, staffing the canteen,
and providing moral support to the donors. No previous experience is
necessary to volunteer. All these efforts are important to the
drive's success. To volunteer, send e-mail to
blood-drive-coordinators@mit.edu, and someone will reply to you
shortly before the drive starts.
Blood Donation Factoids:
* Be sure to eat! Don't skip breakfast or lunch on the day of your
blood donation. Your body will need extra energy to donate a pint
of blood. You will also feel better after donating if you have
eaten a meal a few hours before.
* A premature newborn may need one - four units of red blood cells
while in Intensive Care.
