BloodSource at 2nd Street Update! (January, 2016)

Suggestion:

I would love to get the Second Street UC ANR building involved with BloodSource by hosting mobile blood drives. Is this a possibility? have coordinated such drive previously and would love for us to get involved.—Lauren Snowden


Response from SSOC:

Lauren,
Thank you for submitting this request! The idea of hosting a blood
donation drive here at the ANR building has been approved by the Unit
Directors. EH&S has been consulted re: any need for a waiver sign-off
specific to liability and risk, and we have a green light on that front.
HR has also been consulted and has approved of the drive.

Update:
Lauren made contact with Blood Source who sent us specifics on setting up
the Blood Drive.

We need to sign up at least 40 people in order for Blood Source to come
out with their bloodmobile. Once we collect enough names and come up with
an agreed upon date, the appointment will be scheduled.

There will be a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board as well as at the
second floor break station.

Update:
A date has been scheduled for the Blood Drive - Wed. Jan 12th, 2016. We are also on Standby with BloodSource. If an earlier day opens up, we will have the chance to take it. Lauren is in regular contact and will give us plenty of notice if the date changes.

Thank you Lauren!
SSOC

Giving blood is one of the most generous acts of kindness that one human being can do for another.
What we accomplished:

Did you know that one pint of blood can save up to three lives.
We saved up to 54 lives by donating blood.
Way to go US!
