    Honor Cord Enrollment

    High school students, looking to make a difference and boost your resume? Consider our Blood Donor Honor Cord program.

    Blood donor honor cord enrollment

    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.*

    *Ability to wear this cord with your graduation robe is subject to rules set by each school.

    Volunteer

    • A blood donation volunteer signing up

      Those who are unable to donate blood can still take part in this program through volunteering. Four volunteer hours equal one program credit. Volunteer hours can be used in combination with blood donation credits.
