Mobile Blood Drives
Is there a blood drive in your neighborhood? The Blood Bank
of Alaska tries to make it as convenient as possible for local
residents to give the "gift of life." Nearly 40 mobile
blood drives are hosted by local businesses, organizations,
civic groups, churches, and schools each month. Without their

Apheresis Donors Honored at Special Reception
There’s a special group of blood donors at Blood Bank
of Alaska who give with dauntless loyalty. They devote themselves
to saving the lives of Alaskans with cancer, heart disease,
trauma and severe burns.
On Feb. 12, Blood Bank of Alaska held a special reception to
honor the most dedicated Apheresis donors in the Anchorage and
Mat-Su Valley areas.
"It makes me excited to see such a dedicated group of lifesavers
all in one room," said Jack Williams, Blood Bank of Alaska
CEO, who hosted the event.
In Apheresis
donation an automated machine gathers plasma, platelets, and
red cells from the blood while returning other blood components
to the donor.
Blood Bank of Alaska awarded door prizes and certificates of
recognition to more than 20 regular donors. The 22 most prolific
donors of 2007 were also awarded $100 gift certificates courtesy
of Allure
Day Spa and Hair Design.
“Events like this are nice,” said Stuart
Goering, a monthly Apheresis donor. “But it’s
not really why you do it. You do it to help people.”
Blood Bank of Alaska relies on these dedicated donors to provide
Alaskans with blood products at 24 hospitals statewide. While
Apheresis donation takes longer than whole blood donation, many
donors use the time as a personal break to watch a movie, read
or catch up on rest.
You can schedule your Apheresis donation today, by calling Blood
Bank of Alaska’s Apheresis line at 222-5619.
