Mark your calendars for February 3rd to participate in a blood drive facilitated by the American Red Cross and sponsored by LBNL Health Services. The blood drive will take place in B33 R106, from 9am-3pm.
By donating blood, you can make a big difference in the lives of people with an array of health conditions and needs. Check your eligibility to donate, and sign up here today!
Why donate?
Donating blood helps those with serious health conditions, including cancer and sickle cell anemia. Others in urgent need – such as trauma and burn victims – also rely heavily on your blood donations.
Every 2 seconds, someone desperately needs the blood that you can provide. A single donation takes as little as 8-15 minutes, and with that single donation, you can save multiple lives! With the American Red Cross coming onsite at LBNL, it’s the most convenient opportunity to donate.
Am I Eligible?
Check the following to ensure you are able to donate:
- You can donate once every 56 days, up to 6 times a year
- You must be in good health, and feeling well the day of the blood drive
- You must weigh at least 110 lbs
