Hello,
Please allow me to begin by thanking everyone who made our November
drive a success. We collected 275 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, May 11
through Friday, May 15, in La Sala in the Student Center. The drive
will run from noon to 6pm every day except Tuesday, when it will run
from 8am to 2pm. All donors will be able to enter a raffle for Dave
Matthews Band tickets at Fenway Park, and for Red Sox tickets, and
will also receive a scratch to win card from Unos. By giving blood,
or volunteering your time at the blood drive, you can help save lives.
As we approach the summer, please take the time to donate blood.
Please also note that the drive will be running on Friday of next week
even though classes will be over. Donating blood is a great way to
save lives, and get free cookies for that all important sugar hit
while tooling for finals.
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.
* An adult body contains 10-12 pints of blood.
