Attention Conference Hosts: Add Saving Lives to the Agenda

Oftentimes, at conferences or big events, attendees have spare time. By hosting an on-site blood drive, Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB; www.NCBB.org) makes it easy for event goers to take an hour out of their day to give back to the community and be a life-saving hero – without even leaving the conference.

Every summer, hundreds of coaches from across Nebraska come together for the Nebraska Coaches Association (NCA) clinic. In addition to hearing from keynote speakers, networking with other coaches and learning about coaching fundamentals, NCA also hosts a “Coaches Care” Blood Drive with NCBB.

“Giving blood gives us a chance to give back just like teaching and coaching,” said golf coach Keith Eriksen. “The convenience of the NCBB bloodmobiles right on site is a great opportunity. We keep coming back each year and encouraging others.”

If you would like more information about hosting a blood drive with Nebraska Community Blood Bank visit our website at www.NCBB.org or email blooddrives@ncbb.org.

Through the month of July, all presenting NCBB donors will be entered to win a Scheel’s $25 gift card each week.
