To help our lifesaving mission, we are partnering with iHeartMedia on an exciting new blood drive campaign.

At the end of the month, the organization with the most “votes” wins a $10,000 radio marketing package from iHeartMedia Sarasota. The winner will be notified on or about October 9, 2017. -

7. Your Vote Counts!
A blood or platelet donation counts as a vote for your organization. Here’s how the votes are broken down:
A single unit of blood (one pint) counts as one vote
A platelet donation counts as one vote
A double red cell donation (two pints) counts as two votes

8. Our company is too small to compete
Not true!
The winner will be determined by a formula based on the your number of employees divided by the number of units you collect.
For example
Business A has 53 total employees and receives 39 “votes”; 39/53 = 0.735
Business B has 35 employees and receives 29 “votes”; 29/35 = 0.828
Business B is the winner

9. Keeping it fair!
Although an organization does not need a minimum number of employees to participate, the minimum number of employees you must list is 10 (ten). For example, if you have 1- 9 employees, you must list 10 (ten) on your registration form.
