2018 MacRumors Blood Drive

[Doctor Q]

Check out an important message to the MacRumors community from one of our forum members.

Many people have a long weekend for the U.S. Memorial Day holiday - extra time to schedule a blood donation. Our blood drive is nearing 50 total units. Please help us pass that mark!

Donate All Year - with Team MacRumors

The MacRumors 2018 Blood Drive has ended. We publicize blood and platelet donations every May, but there are people in need every day of the year. For that reason, we're pleased to announce Team MacRumors, where you can record your pledges to donate blood from now through next April.

Each time you donate blood or platelets, visit the Team MacRumors page, click PLEDGE TO GIVE BLOOD, and fill in your information. It's that easy!

If you enter your MacRumors user name as your First Name and @macrumors as your Last Name, we'll include you on next year's Blood Drive Honor Roll.
