There are many reasons to give blood. I do it because it saves lives - someone's kid, parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, friend, whatever. It saves human lives, and it doesn't take much time or effort to do.
Now, if you're not as sentimental as I am, then consider the points program and the on-site pampering. Although drinks and snacks are always available for you after your donation, depending on how much you give or if you're giving platelets, you get served cold drinks and snacks while you recline and watch a movie or TV show. My wife only does that sort of thing for me when I'm deathly ill!
It's free to enroll in their points program, and the more you donate, the more free stuff you can get. Cool stuff like mugs, blankets, MP3 players, and even pearl necklaces (or you can donate those points right back to the blood bank and help keep them funded)!
Who says good deeds are always punished?
So no matter your reason, give blood and give blood often because there are people who need your help, and one day you or someone you care about might be one of them.
As of Wednesday, November 17, 2010, Red Tie Products has made 12 blood and/or platelet donations, which has helped save the lives of up to 36 people.
