Why Host a Virtual Blood Drive?
We know that not everyone has a suitable location to host an in-person blood drive. Virtual blood drives offer a convenient solution for anyone in Vitalant’s geographic regions across the U.S. They enable groups of all types and sizes to get involved in saving lives in their community—whether you're a new or existing host. You can even supplement an in-person blood drive with a virtual option.
Benefits of a Virtual Blood Drive:
- Easy Setup and Management: Virtual blood drives are completely self-service. Hosts can set up and manage everything on their own and see the results of their efforts in their account.
- Unique Hyperlink: Each virtual blood drive comes with a unique link for your organization, making it easy to track donor participation.
- No Location Needed: Encourage donors to visit any Vitalant donation center or community blood drive across the U.S.
- Wider Reach: Recruit donors regardless of their physical location, as long as there’s a Vitalant donation center or blood drive in their area.
- Flexible Donations: Donors can give blood at any Vitalant location, whenever it's most convenient for them.
