Sign Up Now to Donate March 11 at the I.U.P.A. Blood Drive

The International Union of Police Associations recognizes that there is a national blood shortage and that donations are critically required. That is why the I.U.P.A. is hosting a blood drive with SunCoast Blood Centers at our headquarters on March 11, 2022 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All donors receive a coupon for a Culver’s free pint for a pint and enjoy some fun Saint Patrick’s Day trinkets since the event will take place just before the holiday. Donors are welcomed, though not required, to dress in green if they like.

The I.U.P.A. has hosted numerous blood drives previously as have I.U.P.A. locals and local departments all across the United States. If your local is interested in hosting a blood drive and you are unsure of the nearest blood donation group to organize your event with, feel free to contact the I.U.P.A. Research Department at alinaj@iupa.org and we will gladly assist you in locating one. If you are hosting a blood drive and would like for the I.U.P.A. to share the news in the I.U.P.A. Briefing Room and NewsWatch, contact alinaj@iupa.org and we would gladly share about your event to help promote and share about it to encourage more others to do the same.
