HOST A BLOOD DRIVE

In addition to donating blood, we also need volunteers to host blood drives in their communities. Hosting a blood drive is easy! We help you every step of the way:

• Find a venue (church, synagogue, school, community center, library, etc.)
• Pick a date (based on our availability and your preference)
• Recruit donors (email blasts, postcard mailings, posters, sign-up sheets etc.)
• Greet and thank donors on the day of the drive

Students can earn scholarship money and may be able to receive community service credit for their blood drive.

Ask about our award-winning Little Doctors Program(R) for elementary, middle, private and parochial schools. The Little Doctor Program(R) started thanks to a very special 6th grade teacher from Putnam Valley Middle School. In 1996, Karen Brothers imagined that her students would benefit and learn from the experience of organizing and planning a community blood drive. The Little Doctors Program(R) was born from the magic and creativity of the students, in partnership with New York Blood Center. The program is an outstanding community service and academic experience for the students and the entire community. In the years since, New York Blood Center's Little Doctor Program(R) has grown throughout New York and New Jersey and to Blood Centers across the United States and even abroad. This program is an ideal partnership with Science Curriculum requirements for grades 5 - 8, in particular the 6th grade curriculum. Parents, teachers and administrators across our region praise the Little Doctor Program(R), participating year after year.
