The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) is challenging everyone to, “Make lifesaving a habit,” this January for National Blood Donor Month. Around the world, people are asked to donate blood in an effort to save lives.
During the holidays, inclement weather and illness take their toll on the blood supply in hospitals. Blood Centers find it more difficult to collect blood donations because it is a popular vacation time, and the reduced turnout threatens to put the nation’s blood inventory at a critical low. That is why blood donor awareness events are vital to the health and safety of everyone, all over the world.
Each day over 39,000 units of blood are needed in hospitals and for emergency situations. Both cancer patients and car accident victims rely on the donations of others to save their lives. By promoting awareness and encouraging others to donate through great promotional products, patients will be supplied with the blood they need, when they need it.
When planning your Blood Donor Awareness event, it is important to consider your clients. People over the age of 17 and over 110lbs are eligible for donating blood. The cause is widespread in high schools and colleges where young people are enthusiastic about making a difference. custom awareness bracelets can easily become a trend with younger donors and will help spread the word that donating blood saves lives.
Another promotional awareness product to consider for every Blood Donor Awareness events is the custom imprinted express first aid kit. This generous promotional product will provide clients with their very own safety kit and will be a constant reminder to donate blood and encourage others to do the same.
