What do I need to host a blood drive?
Our Big Red Bus will roll up with everything you need from start to finish. We’ll even bring cookies, juice, and a gift for each donor!
All you need to do is designate someone from your organization to be our point person. We call this person the Blood Drive Chairperson. An enthusiastic, dependable Blood Drive Chairperson is one of the primary keys to a successful drive. The OneBlood representative assigned to your drive will work closely with the Chairperson to plan a memorable lifesaving event.
Ready to get started? Here are three easy steps to host a Big Red Bus blood drive:
${1} Fill out our Host a Blood Drive form.
Submit your information and get the process rolling to become a Chairperson.
${2} Schedule your blood drive.
A OneBlood representative will be assigned to your blood drive and reach out to you to plan the date of your blood drive. We can schedule the Big Red Bus or even set up inside your facility. Please keep in mind, a typical blood drive is about five hours.
${3} Promote your blood drive.
Once scheduled, we provide all marketing materials and support for your blood drive. This includes print and digital pieces you can use to help recruit donors. The number one reason people don’t donate is they haven’t been asked, so ask! A personal ask goes a long way.
