Ashley took the initiative and started us off on our latest blood drive.
We have one pint in the bank. Let's see how many we can accumulate by Labor Day.
Please go to your local donor center. Bring your family and/or friends. Then come back to this thread and let us know how many pints you were responsible for collecting.
If you donate platelets instead or in addition to whole blood, tell us about that too. I have an appointment for July 8th already set up.
If you have any questions about donor eligibility contact your regional blood center. Criteria vary from one region to another.
Thanks for helping.

I've started spreading the word at the paper. The only blood bank that I know of around here where I can donate is not within bus distance; so I won't be donating this year. BUT, I will do my best to get others to join in.
Darn - I just gave blood last week. Does that count? My wife will be giving blood if she passes the hemoglobin sometime this month (You can walk from the parking garage near Harvard Medical to the Boston MFA, and parking is free if you give blood at Boston Children's Hospital)
Note to blood donors: don't have your cousins and uncles over to watch the "Old School" DVD and drink a number of beers after you've given blood. NOT GOOD.
Hubby is already signed up for our blood drive on July 17 I believe. Marissa isn't donating this time, she got sick the last time. Me- I still can't donate. But I will let you know when Ted does.

My hemoglobin count was too low.
