I started donating blood at my high school when they were hosting a blood drive last year. My JROTC instructor encouraged me to donate blood although I was a bit nervous. When I gave blood the first time, I felt a sense of accomplishment and I wanted to continue to donate. Today, I continue to donate because I want to be the impact I make in someone’s life. I encourage others to donate blood because it is constantly needed and you will be glad that you did.
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.
