Only 3 out of 100 Americans donate blood, yet every two seconds someone needs it. Fewer people are donating blood to help patients. You can change that by joining the international Missing Types movement and fill in the missing blood types.
Here at Redeye we understand how real that need is and how it can mean the literal difference between life or death to many patients. Vessel Fest on 8/29 is our way of giving back directly in our local area of Hillsborough, NC with a blood drive on site at HQ. We encourage all of our partner organizations to show support nationwide between 6/17 and 9/13 to help us reach, and hopefully exceed, our national campaign goal of 25 pints of blood.
All donors who do give blood via appointments here or for our local drive at HQ will receive a $5 gift card to Amazon! Please visit www.RedCrossBlood.org/Together for more information.
Thanks to everyone who made Vessel Fest 2018 a success, our on-site and Sleeve Up campaign donations amounted to over 40 pints of blood donated. w00t!
This year we are hoping to do even better, so please join us between 6/17 and 9/13 in donating a pint of blood to help those who need it most. Please do use the #VesselFest and post your donation story to social media to let everyone know you supported a great cause.
Most donation also qualify for thank you gift cards of 5-15 from Amazon, please speak with you local office as to how to receive and redeem those.
Thank you in advance for helping to make Vessel Fest 2019 a success!
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
