Let me start off by thanking everyone who came to donate blood at our
drive in February. We collected more than 300 pints of blood. On
behalf of the Red Cross, thank you for saving lives.
The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive at MIT Wednesday, 4/25 in
La Sala on the second floor of the Student Center (W20). The drive
will run from 11:30AM until 5:30PM each day. This is a one day drive,
but there will be increased staff levels to keep the lines from
getting too long. By giving blood or by volunteering your time at the
blood drive, you can help save lives.
As always, we are looking for new donors. Please consider bringing a
friend along when you come in to donate.
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 are hoping to have enough MIT people helping out during this drive
to get people registered quickly and take some of the pressure off of
the Red Cross workers. Even if you can't donate blood, you're welcome
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. All these efforts are
important to the drive's success. To volunteer, send e-mail to
