Give give give, until your face falls off…

Filed under: Announcements, Community Support, Independents Hall

That’s what Gary V says, anyway. But I get that you’re a little attached to your face.

But giving is definitely an important theme for all of us to remember. Luckily, there’s no easier way to give, than to give blood. No ‘face falling off’ required.

Thats why I’ve been working with the American Red Cross, with the help of Reed Gustow, to organize a Blood Drive at IndyHall. We also have the support of Marc Steel from the Citypaper to bring additional donors to the drive from his organization. We’re looking for 45-50 sign ups, between the two organizations.

The donation drive will take place on Saturday, March 29th starting at 9am and running until 3pm. We’ll be re-organizing the “production floor” at IndyHall the night before to accommodate. If you’ve never been here before, check out our “locate” page.
Please consider giving to this cause, this is one of the easiest and most generous things you can do.

You need to reserve a spot, and since this is nearly an entire month in advance, setting aside a time should not be difficult. The Red Cross makes it easy (yay! webapps!) to register and select a slot ahead of time online. You can visit our donor registration page to find out more.

I’d say “race you to the first donor spot”, but I’m already registered myself. Join me!

When:
Saturday March 29, 2008
9am-3pm
Where: IndyHall
How: register here.

    You got the quote “Give give give, until your face falls off…” stuck in my head now. Heh.

    Thanks, Alex & Reed for coordinating this!

    Since many of us aren’t very good around needles, I’ve designated The Franklin Fountain as our after-party spot, giving us something else to look forward to and a reward for all the bravery!

    Come out to donate and enjoy old fashioned ice cream treats afterward!

    Good luck with the blood drive!

    Did you know that if you’ve lived in the UK (like I have all my life) you cannot donate blood because of the Mad Cow Disease we had a few years back!
