Bonfils Blood Drive on Campus
Bonfils Blood Drives will be back on campus January 29th and 30th! Reserve your spot today!
The next round of Bonfils BLOOD DRIVES will be held on campus at the Aspinall Wilson Center on Tuesday, January 29 (10:30 am-4:30 pm) and Wednesday, January 30 (8:30 am – 3:30 pm). If you wish to sign up for an appointment, or confirm the one you made in November, please email Suzy at scoykendall@western.edu or call and leave a message at 943-2645. Include your name, phone number and the time you wish to donate and she will contact you to confirm your appointment once she gets it entered into the system. You can also sign up for the Wednesday Drive online at www.bonfils.org; the drive number is 1300.
Appointments occur every 10 minutes and it takes about 45-60 minutes to get through the full process of check-in, paperwork, initial screen, donation and treat/juice imbibing. Potential donors are deferred for tattoos or piercings received within the last 12 months or travel to malaria laden countries. Most travel to areas of Mexico is now a deferment as well, unless there is no chance in heck that you were exposed to malaria! Check with Suzy or Bonfils if you have questions about deferrals, the sooner the better.
