About the Summer Blood Challenge
Between May 19 and August 30,128 businesses and organizations Delmarva-wide will battle it out in the 6th annual Summer Blood Challenge, a competition to recruit the most new Blood Bank members and blood donors. One will be named the “Top Lifesaving Employer” on Delmarva.
With the theme “Fuel for Life, Hero for Life,” this year’s Challenge is designed to raise awareness of the importance of blood donations, especially during the critical summer months when fewer people typically give blood. Every day on Delmarva, 370 blood donors are needed to keep the blood supply strong.
Last year, thousands of employees contributed a total of 5,308 blood donations, a 9% increase over the 2006 Challenge.
