Students between 16 and 18 years old represent a hugely important contingent of blood donors across the United States. And these young donors are just as important to us at OBI... which is why we created the Blood Donor Honor Cord program.
What It Is
OBI's Blood Donor Honor Cord Program is a program intended to honor local teens who've been regular blood donors over their high school tenure.
To qualify, students must be enrolled by April 30 of their graduating year AND must donate at least six times by May 1 of their graduating year.
Students who meet both qualifiers will receive an honor cord and special certificate for graduation.*
