URGENT NEED: We have an urgent need to replenish our supply of Type O-negative red blood cells. Multiple victims of a trauma are being treated at a hospital that receives blood components from our Blood Center. Blood is available for patient care but we must now replace a high volume of units used in the trauma. O-negative donors, please schedule an appointment for donation as soon as possible by calling (800) 747-5401 or via our online scheduling system.

FAQs

  • GIFT CARD PRIZE DESCRIPTION

    The prize is a $250 Visa gift card.
     

  • GIFT CARD ENTRY PROCESS

    Contest participants will be asked to provide contact information via their blood donation registration process. This is to ensure the Blood Center’s ability to contact the winner by cell phone or email.

    The Blood Center will select the winner from a list of registered donors pulled from MVRBC’s donor database. For each drawing time period (see listing above), all prospective donors who register to give blood will be included in the data set that will be used to select the winner.

    Prospective donors who registered to donate more than one once during this period will be included in the entry pool multiple times (once for each time the donor is registered within the specified time periods above).

  • PURPOSE OF GIFT CARD PROMOTION

    The “Critical Week” promotion is intended to promote blood donation during the dates in which the rate of blood donation decreases while patient need at hospitals remains the same.

  • GIFT CARD ELIGIBILITY

    The drawing is open to eligible blood donors who register to give blood at MVRBC, CBSI or CICBC blood drives and Donor Centers. Note: registration for blood donation takes place prior to pre-donation screening. Prospective donors who register for donation and are subsequently deferred from giving blood for any reason will be included in the drawing.

    Employees of Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center and their spouses and children are not eligible for the prize drawing.

  • NOTIFICATION OF GIFT CARD WINNER

    The winner for each drawing will be notified by e-mail and phone on the business day following the eligible period. Once the winner for each drawing has been contacted and has agreed to accept the prize, the winner's name will be listed above next to the drawing date that the won.

  • ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT CARD PRIZE AND TAXES

    The winner must agree to accept the prize and to have their name and photograph used in Blood Center promotional materials (ie. social media posts, media news release and an article on the Blood Center’s web site). Each winner has three days after notification to accept their prize before we will choose another winner.

    By accepting the prize, the winner acknowledges that he or she will be responsible to pay all taxes and fees associated with winning the prize, as applicable by law.

    While all registered donors will be eligible to win the prize, those under the age of 18 or who have a designated legal guardian will be required to have their parent or legal guardian provide written consent to accept the prize.

    If the donor chooses to decline the prize, MVRBC will choose a new winner by repeating the process described in the SELECTION OF WINNER section above.
