A Commit for Life Program
How Do I host a Blood Drive? Why High School? Because High Schools are the future for our patients in the hospital. Healthy, young and enthusiastic students can help the blood supply in America now and when they leave high school by continuing to donate blood in their community. What is Share the Future? Share the future is a partnership between your school and UTMB Blood Center to save lives today and in the future. Three paths for Success
Blood Drive Tools § Passes I know it does not happen in your school but some kids in other schools forge passes. We provide passes and on the back it has all the basic requirements. The student will fill out the Blood Drive pass and have a set time to donate. § Breakfast We provide breakfast bars to avoid reactions. All students must drink and eat before they donate. § Leadership Training We invite all students and teachers who work on the blood drives for a day of training. Students can earn Community Service training. If your school would like to book a drive, please call Christi G. Hopkins at 409-772-6552 or cghopkin@utmb.edu
