Commit for Life Group Program
Thank you for helping our community by Committing for Life with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. Your upcoming blood drive will provide the life-saving donations needed by individuals undergoing surgery, cancer patients, premature babies, individuals with anemia and others.
So far in 2009, The Blood Center's mobile blood drives have collected about 900 units less than at this same time last year. We need your help to increase the blood supply and ensure that patients in our community can receive the blood they need.
You can help by increasing your next blood drive's collections by at least 5 percent. Please continue to encourage your group to Commit for Life and schedule their next donations at your upcoming drive. Since every donation helps save as many as three lives, you could make a life-saving difference for many more individuals.
On behalf of those who benefit from your commitment, thank you for all that you do.
The Commit for Life Group Program is a partnership between Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center and organizations in the Texas Gulf Coast region focused on permanently increasing the blood supply. It is as easy as following our Path for Success and committing to an annual life-saving target. If you or your organization is interested in hosting a blood drive, please call (713) 791-6670 or e-mail us.
How do you follow the Commit for Life Path for Success?
It takes just three simple steps:
-
Host At Least One Drive Per Quarter
- Hosting at least one blood drive per quarter allows the dedicated donors in your organization to become Commit for Life members and helps us meet our annual life-saving goals.
-
Schedule The Donors
- By scheduling appointments, you can ensure the blood drive runs smoothly and meets the collection goals for the community. It helps reduce wait time and maximize our life-saving efforts together.
-
Spread The Work
- Committees spread the amount of work required between different individuals, get new and creative ideas to improve your drives, and allow other individuals to participate in this rewarding experience.
Why should you be a Commit for Life Group?
Commit for Life allows us to partner with the community to provide a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood components. Our mission to help save and sustain lives can not be fulfilled without you. People working together to save lives by donating blood: that is what the Commit for Life Group Program is all about!
