⚠️ Cautionary notes that can result in a devastating cancellation: ⚠️Furniture: Ensure there a plan to have room cleared of all furniture except for what's needed for the blood drive - before staff arrival. Additional furniture may result in cancellation. ⚠️Repairs and Maintenance: Avoid repairs, floor resurfacing, carpet shampooing, painting, etc., in the donor room at least 2 weeks before the blood drive. Lingering fumes can cause illness. ⚠️ Room Temperature: Ensure the a/c or heat is working no less than 2 weeks prior and set the temperature between 63-75°F at least 1 hour before the blood drive. Incorrect temperatures can lead to medical complications and blood drive cancellation. ⚠️ Recruit a team of 3-4 to help promote this life saving event and add to social media posts weekly, send texts, emails.., whatever works best to reach your audience.
