Research Administrators work hard every day to help support the incredible research being conducted *** and to ensure that research is being conducted safely and ethically. Now we hope that this amazing community will come together to help ensure blood banks have enough donations for all the patients requiring transfusions each and every day. With the current COVID-19 crisis, many blood banks are in urgent need. The Red Cross has to collect 15,000 blood donations every day to have enough blood to help patients in 2,700 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country.
Please be sure to review any local guidance regarding donations, including mask requirements and donor eligibility criteria.
You may also be able to receive a COVID-19 antibody test as part of your donation. See more here: https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/dlp/covid-19-antibody-testing.html
Please help by scheduling a blood donation at a center near 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.
