At the convention this year, you can join a lot of people who are pledging to giving back, including us, with a blood donation!
Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive
Every year we attend the Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive. While the location is never exactly the same, from the Marriott Marquis, to the Omni Hotel, and more recently at the Grand Hyatt, this blood drive churns out a whopping amount of blood each year.
While there, you can choose to do a Platelet donation, which usually takes 45 minutes, a Double Red donation, which can average 30 minutes, or a regular blood draw, which is on average 25 minutes. The amount of help you wish to do with the drive is up to you.
Once your donation is over, take some treats, and juice, rest up a bit, and collect a unique blood drive t-shirt, which can only be acquired from donating blood.
This is a great way to get a con shirt, without spending an arm and a leg… just a pint.
This year they have a specialty t-shirt for the new Fantastic Four!
