Gallon Grad Program

Make a Life-Saving Difference During Your High School Years!

In recognition of the valuable life-saving contribution students make to our community’s blood supply, the Community Blood Center (CBC) is pleased to offer a Gallon Grad Award Program for high school students. If you donate at least eight (8) times with the Community Blood Center before your high school graduation, you will be eligible to receive the Gallon Grad award. This program is designed to encourage high school students to become lifelong blood donors.

 

How the Program Works

It’s easy! Just sign up for the program and donate at least eight times prior to your high school graduation. Eight donations are the equivalent of one gallon. We will count all of your donations with CBC both before and after you enroll. You can achieve this goal by donating at your high school blood drives, as well as donating at a local CBC Neighborhood Donation Center or other community blood drives sponsored by the Community Blood Center.

Donors may donate whole blood every 56 days. Double Red Cell donations count as two donations and require a 16 week wait between donations. Platelets may be donated up to 24 times per year and can be done at a local CBC Neighborhood Donation Center.

 

Program Benefits

All Gallon Grad members who reach the one gallon milestone by their high school graduation will receive a Gallon Grad Certificate of Achievement and a One Gallon Pin. You can add this to the list of achievements on your resume and college application, too. What a great feeling to end your high school years knowing that you have helped save countless lives in your community!
