Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Wearing jerseys and t-shirts and having vigils is nice, but I think a site this big with this many passionate people can make a real difference. I just had this idea while watching Comcast. They said that they were able to replace all the blood Taylor lost. That means that the hospital had the supplies necessary during this critical period. I can't even imagine how many units they would have needed. It got me to thinking: I work in healthcare and hospitals are always low on blood supplies. We are a big community spread out over a large region. We can make a difference. Why not choose a day someday in December where everyone goes to their local blood banks/Red Cross/etc and gives. Have a thread and keep a running total. And then announce the results in honor of Sean. Maybe coordinate with someone at Redskins Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'll do it in a heartbeat. Maybe we can even get Comcast or the Skins just involved enough to attract more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantanaClaus89 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Sign me up. I would definately do this. If it wasn't for other people being generous, Sean might not be alive right now, and something like this can happen to anyone at anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieFlatline Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Giving blood is a great thing to do. The Red Cross comes to my work everything 3 months for a blood drive and I always try to give. I'll definitely do it in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I have no idea how to organize something like this. And I'm weird about my secret identity. But if any mod wants to privately email me, I can give you the name and information on a few directors of some blood banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGreenistheBest Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I already give regularly. It really does help, people. Especially those of you with rare blood types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Or honestly, if you could arrange something from the American Red Cross before the home game this weekend, that would be great but very hard to set up.. Maybe before a home game sometime before the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncsuapex Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Id give but I can't due to medical reasons. Great idea for those that can give blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21dave Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Great idea. I can't donate because I lived in Europe a few years ago, but I would if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I don't think anyone can argue the fact that the plasma stored in local hosptials saved ST's life. I think it would be a great idea if ES/ Redskins started a nationwide blood drive. We could all give the gift of life this holiday season. We all feel helpless right about now and this would enable us to do a great deed in Sean's name and do something extremely positive. Someone from the FO. could contact the American Red Cross and set up a collection center at Redskin park and other locations across the nation. https://www.givelife.org/index_flash.cfm?thisHB=11/26/2007%2018:22:54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngloSackSon Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I just got a tattoo in the past year otherwise I would give.AWESOME IDEA!! Take note Redskins office!! Definitely an idea for the game on Sunday!! I am pretty sure the period for tattoo exclusion has been narrowed down to a few months or less.. Gameday is not the best idea due to the suds in many fans bellys..:2cents: That said, count me in. Needles give me the heebie-jeebies, and I've admittedly been ignoring recorded messages from my local bank for scheduled visits, so I already have a call to answer.

Cannon2 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This is a phenomenal idea...can we get this thing locked at the top of the board so you can keep people informed on what we can do?
