I recently learned that there’s a critical blood shortage. It has reached a point where elective surgeries may be delayed/canceled. I’m asking Everyone who is able to do so to get out there & donate. PLEASE.
I attempted to set up an in-person-blood drive at First Church in Marlborough but learned that the Red Cross doesn’t offer event hosting in my zip code. Well, after all of the interest & positive feedback I received from the Facebook post I created in ‘Massachusetts Female Friends over 50’ I knew I had to do something. Thankfully, the option of a virtual blood drive was an option. Perhaps this is for the best, as it will make the process more convenient for people.
If you’re able, please get out there & donate ASAP. Please share the link with friends & Family so they can participate as well. I set a conservative goal for 150 people by 9/1. We can do this!!!
Thank you so much for your support/participation,
Kim Whitten
Good morning Everyone. I can see that my drive has gotten over 100 views but no pledges. I never created a virtual blood drive before so if you have plans to donate please pledge. I just want to make sure that I didn’t do something wrong when setting this up. Thank you. 🙂
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.
