In exchange, our partner blood bank makes a donation of $20 per blood donor to the host’s chosen mission or charity. This concept combines two worthy purposes to compound the benefits: for the blood drive host, it supports their chosen Christian mission or charity financially with $0 out-of-pocket expense to the host, blood donor or benefiting mission; for our partner blood bank, it maximizes their efficiency to collect blood during times of critical need.
