Blood drives need sponsors — an organization that can provide the appropriate physical space and a coordinator

from the organization to educate, motivate, and recruit donors and work with the local Red Cross.

Why do organizations sponsor drives? Because it is both a simple and a powerful way to serve

your community and allow employees/colleagues or members to get involved.

Whether your organization is large or small, you can make a difference.
