HOUSTON- The Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center will be holding its regular quarterly blood drive at HISD’s Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center (4400 West 18th Street) on Monday, August 31, 2009. The drive will take place between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and while walk-ins are always welcome, reservations are strongly encouraged to avoid long waits.
Successful donors who make their appointment online and donate on the day of the drive will receive 100 “appointment-kept” bonus points, which they can use toward purchases from the Commit for Life Store. Donors will also receive points depending on what type of donation they make. Whole blood counts for 200 points and up, double red cell is 500 points, and red cell plasma is 300 points.
In addition, two promotions for the August 31 blood drive are: Blue Bell Ice Cream and a Kroger Gift Card. Everyone who attempts to donate will receive a coupon for a free pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream. Everyone who donated successfully at the May 21 blood drive and donates successfully again on August 31 will be eligible for a $15 Kroger gift card.
Because HISD hosts quarterly blood drives, donors automatically become Commit for Life members when they give blood at the Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center.
If you would like to donate blood, visit www.eblooddrive.org and enter sponsor code 0128 or call Maria Flores-Lopez at (713)556-7353 to schedule an appointment.
