The Blood Center of Iowa » Sponsor a Blood Drive
Show Your Pride with a Blood Drive
Sponsoring a blood drive is a great way to be seen as a leader in your community, place of business, high school, college or place of worship. Organizing a blood drive shows the pride and commitment you have to community service. Take some time to educate your colleagues, friends and neighbors about the importance of the volunteer blood donation program and the positive impact donating blood can have on others.
The Blood Center of Iowa offers a variety of options for hosting and sponsoring blood drives. Contact a Blood Center of Iowa representative who can explain the following options in detail and work with you to find the best possible location for your blood drive.
Types of Blood Drives
- Set-Up Mobile Blood Drive
This
is a good option for sponsor groups who have 25 or more potential donors and a large location available for The Blood Center to set up their equipment. The Blood Center brings donor cots and all of the blood collection supplies. The sponsor group is asked to provide tables and chairs.
- Bloodmobile Blood Drive
This
is a blood drive that actually takes place on one of the two Blood Center Bloodmobile busses. All of the equipment is already on the bus so all the sponsor group has to do is find a good parking spot! A blood drive on a bloodmobile is ideal for groups with 10-40 potential donors.
- Donor Center Blood Drive
Perfect for smaller groups and for people with schedules that may not permit them to donate at a mobile blood drive. Donor Center drives can be set up for either a day or up to a week and donors can select the date and time to donate that is most convenient for them.
