Belated, yes, but I’m going to shamelessly use my birthday as an excuse to encourage my friends and family to donate blood. I gave blood for the first time when I was 17 at a blood drive at Nobles and I’m now happy to be a faculty sponsor for the Red Cross Club at Durham Academy. I’m so excited to help organize an event that will let high school students start what will hopefully be a life-long habit of blood donation. So I am encouraging those of you who are able to donate blood this fall; there is always a need for more donations! I’ll be donating on October 7 at our school blood drive, but there are opportunities to donate wherever you live!
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.
