March 2024 Donor Promotions

Published by Kirby Winn on Friday, March 1, 2024 in News Releases

ImpactLife is looking to increase support for our region’s blood supply with a number of new donor promotions slated for the month of March. Donors who give blood with ImpactLife from March 1-31 will receive a voucher to redeem for their choice of an electronic gift card, bonus points to use in the ImpactLife Donor Rewards Store, or an equivalent value donation to support reforestation efforts by the National Forest Foundation (NFF).

To schedule an appointment for blood donation, please call (800) 747-5401, or schedule online at www.bloodcenter.org or via the ImpactLife mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app).

As of March 1, inventory levels for type O-positive and O-negative red blood cells were approaching critical levels with just a 2-day supply of O-positive and 2.5-day supply of type O-negative. Platelet donations from all blood types are also greatly needed.

Good Giving: supporting National Forest Foundation through March 31

Donors who give blood with ImpactLife through March 31, 2024 will receive a voucher to redeem for bonus points, an electronic gift card, OR an equivalent donation to National Forest Foundation to plant trees in a U.S. forest in need of tree planting!

When you donate blood products, you are investing in healthy communities for today and for future generations. Planting trees does the same for national parks, ensuring that our forests can continue to provide wildlife habitat, clean drinking water, and places for us to gather together.
