MarsCon Blood Drive Saves Lives

On March 5th, members of the USS Nokomis hosted our 11th annual MarsCon blood drive. Thanks to many hours spent by Jane before the weekend on phone recruitment, we went in to the day with nearly 20 appointments. On Saturday, Jane and Roxanne spent the afternoon greeting donors in the hotel lobby, while Pam and Mary roamed the convention recruiting additional donors. In the end, we collected 26 units of blood, which can save up to 78 lives. A bunch of those donors were our own generous club members, and they are the real heroes! Great job to everyone, and congratulations on a great, life-saving day!

MarsCon 2015 Blood Drive

Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation.

The USS Nokomis sponsors a blood drive at each large science fiction convention in conjunction with the American Red Cross.
