This summer take part in an exciting and life-saving competition by entering your company in the 2012 Donate Life Challenge. Businesses from all over WNY will compete for points through hosting and supporting a variety of activities at their workplace.
Did you know that 1 pint of blood can save up to 3 lives?
It’s challenging to get blood donors during the summer months. Unfortunately, this is the time of year when we need donors. Our local hospitals have an increased need for blood and Unyts is the primary supplier to blood products for Kaleida Health (including Buffalo General and Women and Children’s Hospital) ECMC, and all the hospitals in Niagara and Wyoming Counties.
Unyts is also the only organ procurement organization in WNY. Sadly, the number of people who are committed to become organ donors is low here in NY State. Businesses can give their employees the opportunity to sign up for the Organ Donor Registry by hosting a registry drive.
The Donate Life Challenge fosters corporate camaraderie and employees can win prizes like concert tickets, Bisons Tickets or a Moondance Cat cruise.
Businesses will have the opportunity to showcase their good will through social media. The Unyts Marketing team will put photos on Facebook, Twitter, the Unyts website and Unyts Newsletter, which has a distribution of around 20,000 email users.
