About 65% of our blood is
collected on our bloodmobiles. We can bring a bloodmobile to your
location for as few as 5 donors.
Who can sponsor a blood drive?
You can! Blood drives can be held at your place
of employment, your community, your church, your school, your civic group,
and special events.
What do I have to do?
Just contact us. We will assist you in setting up
your blood drive.
To set up your blood drive, call: (863) 297-1840
How much time will this project require of me?
The first time drive usually takes a little more time.
You will be establishing a "baseline" of donors.
After your first drive, it’s easy. Just invite your
regular donors and ask each of them to bring a friend.
Will my blood drive really make a difference?
There is a continuing nationwide blood shortage with
very little relief in sight. Our area hospitals are adding services
that require more blood. (Winter Haven Hospital will soon be
performing open heart procedures. Lake Wales Medical Centers has
opened a new emergency facility.) Every single donor is extremely
important. The most important unit of blood is the one the doctor
just requested for a patient.
