What’s in it for me?Why is there such a need?

TM

Who do you know that has needed blood?

One out of every three of us will need blood in our life time.

One in ten people admitted to the hospital needs blood

TM

Did You Know?Every two seconds, someone in America needs blood.

A person can donate blood every 56-days (about every 2 months).

A person has 10-12 pints of blood in their body.

Typically, blood volume is replaced in 24-hours after donation.

The average donor only donates 1.7 times per year. If every existing donor just gave 2x/year there would be no shortages.

Even with all of today’s technology, there is no substitute for blood. Someone has to give blood in order for someone to receive blood.

What is the Donation Process?

Registration

The donor checks in andpresents a form of identification

If an area of concern is detected through testing, a confidential letter is sent to the donor

Health Check

Medical history and lifestyle questions

Mini-physical: blood pressure, pulse, temperature and iron level in the blood

Canteen

Enjoy a snack and drink juiceor water to replenish fluids. The donor’s part ends here.

Lab

The blood is sent to thelab where it is separated into components: platelets, plasma and red blood cells

Testing Center

Tubes of blood samples are sent to the testing lab where they undergo many different tests for infectious disease and blood type

If the blood passes alltests, a first time donorwill receive a donor card, with his/her blood type on it 6-8 weeks after donation

Donation

Rest on a cot or chair while a Red Cross representative draws one unit of blood. A new sterile needle is used to draw each unit and the needle destroyed after it has been used. This takes less than 15 min.

Three days after you give blood, someone’s life can be saved by using it!

Am I Eligible To Donate?

Athletes

Since athletes tend to be among the healthiest in the student population, they are ideal blood donors.

We’re not suggesting an athlete donate on game day, however with a Coach’s support they can donate on practice days or during their off-season.

TM

Red Cell Donation Criteria

Blood Types O-, O+, A-, B- & 1st time donorsMales: 5’1” & 130 lbs minimumsFemales: 5’5” & 150 lbs. minimumsCannot be actively participating in school sports season

TM

What Are Some Tips For a Successful Donation?

EAT-Iron rich foods.

Drink plenty of WATER before and after you donate.

Get a good night’s sleep the night before!

Snack 1 hour before the donation.

TM

Think of Donating Blood Like. . .

. . . .Game Day (or Test Day)– Great athletes prepare physically, mentally, emotionally

& spiritually for GAME DAY– HYDRATION MUST START 3 days prior to donation– Eat a BIG Pasta Dinner night before– Avoid drinking tea with food because a substance in tea

called tannin reduces the body's ability to absorb iron found in the food.

TM

If you donate without eating & hydrating, you’ll look like this!

PLEASE… Be sure to EAT A LOT and DRINK WATER the day you donate.

TM

No one ever asked

Enough other people must be giving blood

My blood type is not needed

I don’t have enough blood

I don’t have time

I am afraid of needles

I am afraid I will get sick

Can I get a disease from giving blood???
