Oahu Donors Have Three Opportunities to
“Give a Pint, Get a Pint” in August

The Blood Bank of Hawaii (BBH) and partner Baskin-Robbins Hawaii’s “Give a Pint, Get a Pint” summer promotion will be in full swing on August 19 and 20 on Oahu. August 20 is Statehood Day.

Donors who give a pint of blood on:
〈        August 19, Downtown Donor Center, 6:30 a.m.– 2:00 p.m., and
〈        August 20, Laie Community @Laie Shopping Center, 7:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m; and Dillingham Donor Center, 6:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

will receive a coupon for a free pint of ice cream, redeemable at participating Baskin-Robbins ice cream stores.
The promotion aims to heighten awareness of the need for blood and to inspire people to give during a traditional period of low donor turnout.

“Keeping the blood supply at a safe level during summer is quite challenging because
schools are out and many people go on vacation,” said Wendy Abe, the Blood Bank’s chief
operating officer. “With this promotion, we hope to heighten awareness of the need for blood among non-donors and inspire people to give the gift of life to fulfill the increasing demand for blood.”

During August, donors can also give blood at the Blood Bank’s two fixed sites in Honolulu. The normal operating hours for the two donor centers are:

Dillingham Donor Center, 2043 Dillingham Boulevard
〈        Monday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
〈        Tuesday, 6:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
〈        Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
〈        Thursday, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.
〈        Friday, 6:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
〈        Saturday, 6:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.
〈        Sunday: The center is open the first Sunday of the month, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Downtown Donor Center, 126 Queen Street
〈        Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Every day in Hawaii, hundreds of patients count on volunteer blood donors for their very survival. Typical uses for the donated blood include surgical procedures, treatment of accident victims, ulcers, anemia, mothers and newborns during delivery, and cancer therapy. 

Because each donation is separated into three different components — red blood cells, platelets and plasma — a single donation can help save the lives of up to three people.

The donation process is safe and usually takes about an hour. There is some paper work, a confidential interview and a mini-physical, but the actual collection of blood takes only five to eight minutes.

In Hawaii, only 2 percent of the eligible population donates blood. More donors are always needed. The requirements to be a blood donor are simple:

Be in good health
Be 18 years of age or older (17 with signed Blood Bank of Hawaii parent/legal guardian consent form)
Weigh 110 pounds or more
Bring a valid photo ID with date of birth

To make an appointment or get more information, visit www.bbh.org or call the Blood Bank of Hawaii at 845-9966. Neighbor islanders can call toll-free at 1-800-372-9966. People are invited to follow the Blood Bank on Twitter at twitter.com/hawaiibloodbank.
