F3 and American Red Cross have partnered together to hold blood drives across F3 Nation.  Normally, we have a long runway to set up drives and recruit donors….but we’ve been asked by Red Cross to help in an urgent situation right in the MECA region.

A drive scheduled for Friday, October 16 was planned to be filled by high school students, but the school can’t participate.  Red Cross turned to Bromance and F3 to ask for our help.  We’ve demonstrated time and time again that when there is a need, we come through.  So let’s do it now!  The drive is at Prosperity Presbyterian Church from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.  Only 11 of 30 slots have been filled.  This takes less than an hour of your time, and every unit donated saves 3 lives!  Plus, they are testing for the COVID antibodies.  So if you are wondering if that bad cold back in February was COVID, now’s your chance to find out!

Here’s the link to a page about the FreedToBleed campaign. ” F3 MECA and Red Cross – We Are In This Together ”  On that page is a link (under Schedule a Blood Donation) to all of the F3 Drives that are scheduled, including Friday’s drive.  Or you can search Red Cross Blood and enter F3 in the “Find a Drive” box.  If you can’t make it Friday, help another region out with their drive!

Let’s make an impact here and experience a great 2nd F while you’re at it!  You won’t regret it.
