Blood Drive Registration
DemiCon 25 will again be "paying it forward" in conjunction with the Heinlein Society through our Blood Drive.
The blood drive will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2014, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the Bloodmobile Bus in the hotel's parking lot. While we would appreciate you scheduling an appointment, walk-ins are always welcome.
Please follow the instructions below to sign up and donate blood at DemiCon.
Make an appointment via LifeServe Blood Center.
Blood donors have a unique opportunity to contribute to their community
by making a life-saving blood donation. Everyone who registers to donate
blood goes through four simple steps during the donation process: registration, donor history screening, donating blood, and enjoying snacks.
New blood donors who are not familiar with the blood donation process are
encouraged to ask questions before, during, and after their blood donation.
Below are a few tips for ensuring a successful blood donation:
- If you are 16 or 17 years old and you have never donated blood with LifeServe Blood Center, be sure to get a signed Parental/Guardian Permission Form.
- Get a good night's sleep before your blood donation.
- Eat a good meal before donating blood. Do not donate on an empty stomach.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Bring identification pre-printed with your name (a photo ID or your Blood Donor Card).
