ConCarolinas 2012 - Blood Drive


Tina R. McSwain, CAPS Founder & Director, will again be a guest at ConCarolinas
for the 2012 edition. As a matter of fact, we will post the special CAPS
discount rate that any of you may use to purchase advanced discounted passes for
the event.

We are so excited to announce our involvement in ConCarolinas 2012! They will once again be hosting a blood drive at ConCarolinas to help give back to the community. Their security director, Luis Diaz, works for the American Red Cross and will be organizing the blood drive again. Last year they had over 50 people donate. Thanks to all who helped make their first blood drive a success!

This year the blood drive will be on Saturday, June 2nd from 11:00am to 1:30pm.
To allow you to spend as little time as possible at the blood drive and more
time at the convention, when you check in you will give them your cell phone
number. Yhey will try to let you know how long the wait is. If it is going to be
a lengthy wait then you can go and check out the con and when your number gets
called they will call you to let you know they are ready for you.

What's the benefit of donating at the ConCarolinas blood drive? Besides helping
people in need, as an incentive to donate each person who donates will be given
a raffle ticket. At the end of the drive several prizes, including a brand new
XBox 360, will be raffled off to some lucky donors.

There is one thing that we need to do to make this a huge success. The American
Red Cross will not commit to being at ConCarolinas unless we can get at least 30
people to pre-register for the drive. Anything less than 30 and they won't come.
If you are interested in donating and would like to pre-register, please email
me your name, phone number and email address. The phone number and email will
only be used to remind you as the drive draws near and will not be given to
anyone outside of the American Red Cross.
