Hi all. I originally wanted to do this for my birthday but I didn't realize the work it took to do so. However I still wanted to do it. So now a month later. ... here we go! Who wants to join me in donating blood? Please don't register unless you are committed. Please email me your full name and phone number. If anything comes up please notify me right away. Thank you in advance for joining me in saving lives. --------------------
For August 23, I’ve reserved your group appointments for 3:10pm – 4:15pm. Each donation takes about an hour – hour and 15 minutes. We take donors in every 5 minutes or so.  

Here are our eligibility requirements. I would suggest, if you have a FB event page going on, to paste this there.
