Help save lives!
The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at MIT on April 27-30.
By giving blood or by volunteering your time at the blood drive, you
can help save lives. The dates and times are:
Mon. 4/27 10am - 4pm
Tue. 4/28 10am - 4pm
Wed. 4/29 9am - 3pm
Thu. 4/30 10am - 4pm
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 tell only
on what day you will donate, if not the exact time, that will help the
Red Cross prepare for the drive. Call 1-800-258-0025 x2064 or send
email using the web at http://web.mit.edu/aongg/www/blooddrive.html to
make an appointment, or just come as a walk-in.
The American Red Cross Blood Services must collect 1100 units of blood
daily to meet the needs of hospitalized patients in 200 medical
facilities throughout New England. The only source of blood is from
blood donors, and each unit donation can help as many as three patients.
Unfortunately, only 5% of the public donates blood.
Even if you are unable to donate blood, by volunteering your time you
can provide valuable assistance to the Red Cross's efforts. Some of
the services that volunteers may perform are advertising the drive,
registering donors, staffing the canteen, and providing moral support
to the donors. All these efforts are important to the drive's
success. To volunteer, send e-mail to <bd-volunteers-request@mit.edu>
or see http://web.mit.edu/aongg/www/blooddrive.html.
