RE:  ASUCD-Davis Community Blood Drive

Please consider donating blood during the upcoming blood drive on Wednesday 
and Thursday, June 25 and 26, 2008, from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the bloodmobile 
located on the Quad.  As a special thank you, everyone who donates will receive a 
coupon for a pint of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream.

BloodSource is a group of medical professionals who, with the gift of blood from 
donors, serve every hospital in the area and help advance the science of blood 
related medicine.  BloodSource must collect an average of 700 units of blood a day.  
Half of the blood supply comes from donors who visit donor centers and half comes 
from donors who sign up for mobile blood drives sponsored by their local community, 
place of worship or employer.  Departmental release time is appropriate for staff 
wishing to donate.  To help alleviate waiting times, there will also be a bloodmobile 
designated for faculty and staff.

To donate blood, you must be at least 17 years old (16 with parental consent), 
weigh 110 pounds or more, and be in generally good health.  We ask that you do not 
donate blood if you have had cold or flu symptoms within the 48 hours prior to 
donating.  Please eat and drink plenty of fluids before donating blood and bring 
picture identification for registration purposes.

All staff, faculty, students and alumni are members of the ASUCD-Davis community blood 
program, which provides members and their families with 100 percent coverage for blood 
and blood costs.

Thank you for your continued support in promoting and participating in this event and 
for your ongoing concern about healthcare in our community.

For further information, please call Heather Sharp at Blood Source at (800) 995-4420 
or via email at heather.sharp@bloodsource.org.
