Did you know that in America every two seconds someone is in need of blood? Did you also know that without blood transfusions 4.5 million Americans would die each year? These are just a few alarming facts that i was able to find when researching about blood drives. I personally have never given blood in my life and coming on November 15th i will sit down to donate for the first time!
If you haven’t already heard, Double Edge will be hosting a blood drive on Novemeber 15th to help give back to our community in a huge way! The blood drive will last from 9am to 12pm during our normal Saturday hours and will be open to anyone who is willing to give blood. During the same time as the blood drive we will also be hosting a Lululemon trunk show where you can reward yourself with some new threads for getting through the Lurong Paleo challenge!
If saving lives and getting into some new Lululemon clothes wasn’t enough, we will also be raffling off the chance to win Nano’s for life and also a $200 shopping spree to the Lululemon trunk show! We will be rewarding one woman and one man for each of the prizes so make sure to get your raffle tickets in! What raffle tickets you ask? Let me explain.
There are 4 different way in which you can earn raffle tickets for your chance at these great prizes. The first way is to give blood! Everyone who gives blood will receive 30 tickets to put into the raffle that day. You must give blood the day of the drive to receive these tickets. If you plan on giving blood please sign up at the front desk with Sabrina.
The second way is to bring in a friend to give blood. For each friend/family member you bring in you will receive 15 tickets to put in the raffle that day! Just like before, your friend/family member must give blood for you to receive the tickets. You may wonder how many of your friends are going to volunteer their Saturday to get their arm stuck with a needle? Probably not many! We get it, that is why we will be offering a free month of unlimited classes to anyone new to Double Edge who give blood! Save a life and get fit? Should be an easy sell now!
The 3rd way to earn raffle tickets is to spread the word about our blood drive through social media! For every post, picture, check in and share with #DoubleEdgeBloodDrive in the content you will receive 1 ticket. These posts must be shown to Sabrina at the front desk for you to be able to receive the tickets!
The 4th and final way to earn raffle tickets is to help us stuff the baskets with school supplies! Inside each locker room is a basket that we are trying to fill with school supplies such as Kleenex, dry erase markers, pencils and crayons for two local elementary schools in desperate need of supplies. All you have to do is show Sabrina the item that you brought and you will receive 2 tickets for the raffle!
We are looking forward to another great community event and hope that everyone can make it on November 15th. If you have any questions concerning the blood drive please contact [email protected], and remember don’t delay, be a hero today!
