Donors Needed! IndyHall/National Mechanics Blood Drive 2.0
Filed under: Announcements, Community Support, Events, Independents Hall
Last spring we held a blood drive, with the help of the American Red Cross and long-standing friend of the IndyHall community, Reed Gustow. We ended up having over 20 donors, which we considered a great success.
This year we decided to up the game, and set the goal for 45 donors registered. In order to do so, we needed a bigger venue. National Mechanics stepped up and volunteered their space.
That’s right, after all of those nights putting stuff INTO our bodies at National Mechanics, it’s time to reverse the process for a day!
Next Monday, April 6th, we’re hosting the 2nd Annual IndyHall blood drive with support from National Mechanics and the whole community. At this point we’re about 15 donors away from our goal and only a week away from the drive.
This is where you come in: we need you to register for a slot to give blood! It’s easy.
Step One: Register with the Red Cross to donate on the date of the drive.
Step Two: Show up on April 6th for your time slot and donate blood.
Step Three: Eat cookies and drink juice! And hang out with other members of the IndyHall community.
Do I have to be a member of IndyHall to donate blood at the blood drive?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is open to the whole community. The more donations, the better.
But I’m afraid of needles!
Fear not – the Red Cross nurses are awesome. Just watch the video above and look for Dave Speers’ mention of how great they are. Not only that, but what better way to get over your fear than with the support of your friends and community members. If you ask nice, I’ll even personally hold your hand 
I’ve never donated before…
PERFECT! You only get to do it for the first time once, so why not now? We’ll even sweeten the deal:
If you’re a first time donor, you get your choice of a free IndyHall t-shirt, or a “buy one/get one” credit for ANY level of IndyHall membership. Just contact us to let us know its your first time and we’ll sort the rest. We are that dedicated to making an impact.
Register TODAY. Seriously. Please don’t wait.
And as always, if you’ve got any questions, you know the drill.
