2023 TarValon.Net Blood Drive

[Faeril Munlear]

Fresh thread for 2023 with some updated graphics! -- same overall goal of helping our communities through blood donations. This year will be our 9th year of hosting our annual Blood Drive. As a community, we have contributed to this initiative since the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013. Blood banks in our local communities are vitally important whenever medical emergencies strike.

In 2022, thirteen donations were reported from January until December by 6 unique donors for a total of 8 pints of blood and 5 platelet donations. Donations were made in the United States, Canada, and Sweden. Thank you for your donations! :fistbump

How this works:

• Whenever you donate blood, swing by this thread and complete the donation form found here.
• You can complete the form as many times as you donate.
• Submit forms by December 31, 2023.

If you have donated blood, or feel this is an important cause and want to help promote it within the community, here are our Blood Donation graphics:

Many thanks to everyone for your help and support with this! This January, the Servant of All team is also highlighting National Blood Donor Month. Check out our thread here. If I'm missing organizations that should be highlighted or other resource links, let me know in the linked thread and I'll get them added!

Just a reminder the Red Cross has an app that will allow you to join teams. Join Team TarValon.net if you prefer donating via the Red Cross. (Thank you, @Karassa Souladrin!)

Is it possible to get the form updated to more specifically indicate the kind of donation? Whole Blood, Double Blood, Platelets, Plasma? I'm a regular platelet donor and I'd like it to be recorded as such.

Yes! I apologize for the late reply, Jorell. I had planned to update the form last week and then update you, but will do it by the end of this weekend and post here once done.

Thank you for the feedback! Looking back, I think you are the first to list platelets and I wanted to review and see how we should keep track. I appreciate your suggestions.

Form is updated!

How did this turn out?

 

[Jorell al'Racha]

I think I still have some donations to report, I've been lax.

I am finding my way around Outreach documents and data, and will have an update soon.

@Jorell al'Racha if you are able to add any more donation info in the next few days I’d be happy to include it.

@Ruslan Rynar for 2023, there was a total of ten donations of blood in different forms (including Jorell's). that's in line with the past few years, but I believe we can do better...see new post for 2024 blood drive!
