Broome Street Blood Drive

From Alyson Ferro,

 

It's that time of year again. I'm pleased to announce that our second semester blood drive, sponsored by the New York Blood Centre, will be held on February 12th from 1:30pm to 6:00pm in Broome 312. 

 

If you would like to sign up to donate, you can do so here: https://drm.nybloodcenter.org/PublicScheduler/GroupLanding.aspx?GroupCode=66960 

 

Please see the blood donor eligibility criteria here: http://nybloodcenter.org/donate-blood/become-donor/can-i-donate-blood/

 

To sign up, just choose the blood drive you would like to donate at - Broome02/12/14. Follow the instructions by choosing the time you would like! Remember that there are only two spots available per time slot, so fill this out quickly if interested - appointments are appreciated, but walk-ins are welcome.

 

Donations to the blood drive will count as a service event towards the Broome Res College course - this applies to those who not only sign up to donate, but who also follow through with the donation. Please note - if you sign up to donate but are unable to do so due to eligibility criteria determined during your session, we will provide an alternate service activity.

 

Questions about the drive? Call the Blood Centre at (800) 933-2566. Please bring a photo or signature ID, eat well, and drink plenty of fluids before donating. Each time you donate, you will also receive Donor Advantage points redeemable for a wide variety of gifts.

 

As a final note, here is a lovely video made by Rafaello Carone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txPGMw2I2tk&feature=c4-overview&list=UUEQXFWPbOIKm9sGYX-C0Hxw. Rafaello's life was changed when he was diagnosed with Leukemia at age 2, but he was saved thanks to generous blood donations from people like you and me.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at amf616@nyu.edu. I'd be glad to assist in any way I can!

 

Sincerely,

Alyson
