Join UBS to celebrate the Release of Solo: A Star Wars Story

May 25, 2018 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm

The summer months see one of the biggest drops in blood donations at a critical time when blood usage goes up. Join UBS to celebrate the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story and journey on a lifesaving adventure with us. Regular donors ensure blood is always available.

Join us at the Donor Center on 1503 Bertrand Drive in Lafayette on Friday, May 25, 2018 from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. All donors will receive a Star Wars themed specialty t-shirt and bonus points in the online rewards store for a FREE movie ticket. All promos are while supplies last and on a first come, first serve basis; please allow up to 1 to 2 business days for bonus points.

As always, all blood types are needed.  However, United Blood Services is always in need of type O negative red cells.  Type O negative blood is the only type that can safely be given to patients of all blood types.  Inquire about donating plasma and platelets.

Donors can also visit www.UnitedBloodServices.org the day of their donation and click on the “Health History Questionnaire”.  This allows donors to complete the interview portion of their donation on-line, in the privacy of their home or office.  Make sure to print your “Fast track donation ticket” and bring it with you to your donation.  The questionnaire must be completed on the same day that you donate.

Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 and 17 years of age must have signed permission from a parent or guardian.  Donors receive a free cholesterol test. Donors also earn points in our “Hero in Me” online rewards store.  Points can be redeemed for movie tickets, pizza, shopping cards and more at www.bloodhero.com.  A photo ID is required to donate. For more information, call 877-UBSHERO (877-827-4376).
