Blood Drives

By supporting our community blood program and sponsoring regular blood drives, your organization can be part of a lifesaving network of Blood Center friends and allies. Our mobile blood program makes it easy for businesses, schools, churches and other organizations to conduct a blood drive any day of the year by bringing the drive to you. We can set up the drive inside your building or park one of our colorful mobile busses right outside.

To book a blood drive, please call Valerie Mascorro, who will put you in touch with the representative for your area. She can be reached at (504) 592-1561 or email valerie@thebloodcenter.org

Your representative will work with you to coordinate the date and time of your drive, as well as to supply you with materials to promote the drive.

In return for your generosity, The Blood Center offers all donors the following recognition options to choose from:
-Donor Recognition Item: Donors can elect to receive a t-shirt or other seasonal promotional item.
-From The Heart Club: Help send a child to Camp Challenge, a non-profit summer camp for children with cancer and rare blood disorders.
-Blood Assurance: By signing up for this program, donors can receive financial reimbursement if they need blood products within one year of their donation. Donors selecting this option will receive unlimited blood coverage per beneficiary.
-Blood Replacement: This program helps support patients who are not already covered under the Blood Assurance plan and tosupport patients with pre-existing illnesses.

Group Coverage:

To thank our community partners for their hard work, we also offer group blood coverage. If 25% or more of your group's members donate during your drive, your entire group will receive blood coverage for one year.
