Patriots Training Camp 2015 Blood Drive

The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation will host the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Brigham and Women’s Hospital Blood Mobile—the traveling extension of the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center—for a series of blood drives during this year’s Patriots Training Camp.

All donors are welcome to enjoy Patriots Training Camp and Fan Zone prior to or following their appointment and each donor will receive a Patriots gift bag.

The Patriots Charitable Foundation has a long history of advocating for volunteer blood and platelet donations, both at the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center and throughout the region, encouraging all eligible fans to consider making a life-saving difference. Volunteer blood and platelet donors are the only source of these blood products, which are essential for people going through cancer treatment and many other critically ill patients in need of life-saving transfusions.

All blood drives will be open to the public. Due to space and time constraints, advance appointments are strongly recommended and can be scheduled by emailing BloodDonor@partners.org with the subject heading “Patriots” andtwo preferred donation times. In general, to give blood, donors should be at least 17 years old, 110 pounds or heavier, and in good health, and must bring a valid photo ID to their appointment. To learn more about eligibility and the donation process, please call the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center at 617-632-3206 or visit www.dana-farber.org/blooddonation.
