Thank You Community Sponsors! Inova Blood Donor Services depends on the support from those in the community to not only hold blood drives, but support blood drives by providing snacks and tickets to make the donation experience unique and memorable for our donors. Please join us in thanking these organizations for their generous donations!  If you or your organization are interested in supporting us with donations or a blood drive, please contact us through our contact form or call 1-866-256-6372. We would love to hear from you. Want to become a sponsor? Reach out to us today!

By sponsoring a blood drive with Inova Blood Donor Services, you help to ensure a safe, ready supply of blood for your loved ones, your neighbors and yourself.   Your time, effort and enthusiasm are as vital as the blood you will help us collect.  We rely completely on volunteer blood donations with a large portion of our blood supply coming from group-sponsored drives. Blood drives are scheduled three months to one year in advance.  They can be held on any day of the week and usually take about three to six hours.

Talking about why blood donations are needed and how blood is used in our community to save lives is a critical way to help Inova Blood Donor Services achieve our mission of maintaining a safe and adequate blood supply for the communities we serve.   We believe that as more people talk about donating blood and blood transfusions, more people will be inspired to give blood, volunteer or donate financially to help fulfill our mission. When asked why they have not donated, many people say it is because they were never asked to donate.  Let’s make that reason an excuse of the past, shall we?
