QCYC – Blood Drive this Winter

As your Fleet Captains, Kim and I have been thinking of ways to not only serve this club but our community as a whole.  After sorting through a variety of ideas, we agreed that a QCYC Blood Drive would be an incredible way for our club to support a real community need. For this event, we will be teaming with Liz Brownell’s Healthy Living Initiative and Denise Lindholme.

As a first step, we contacted Bloodworks Northwest and received a lot of great information about how the process works and some of their requirements.  To begin with, we need to gather names and contact information of at least 30 individuals who are interested in donating blood at a future blood drive.  Once we gather the required commitments, we’ll work with Bloodworks Northwest to schedule a date.  We’re thinking the blood drive would be sometime in January.

Information on giving blood: Donating blood is Safe and Easy, takes about 45-60 minutes, most healthy people can donate, at least 18 years of age, minimum weight is 110lbs for donors (125 min weight for females 16 & 17, 114 min weight for males 16 & 17). 

Question:  How many of you would be interested in being part of this QCYC Blood Drive?  Please email us back at: nwrunner123@gmail.com if you are interested.  We’ll collect the information and communicate further as this event comes together.  Thank you!!!
