Meet Special Patriots Guests & Help Patients in Need: Patriot Place Blood Drive 5/10

Calling all Patriots fans/Patriot Place neighbors! The New England Patriots Charitable
Foundation
will host the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Brigham and Women’s
Hospital Blood Mobile—the traveling extension of the Kraft
Family Blood Donor Center
—for a public blood drive
Saturday, May 10. The drive will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Patriot
Place, directly across from Davio’s Steakhouse. Donors will receive a Patriots
gift bag and may meet and take photos with special guests, such as Patriots
Alumni, Patriots cheerleaders, and mascot Pat Patriot.



 Due to space and time constraints, advance appointments are
strongly recommended and can be scheduled by emailing BloodDonor@partners.org with the subject heading “Patriots” and two
preferred donation times. Walk-ins will be accepted as time permits. In
general, to give blood, donors should be at least 17 years old, 110 pounds or
heavier, and in good health, and should bring a valid photo ID and be
well-nourished and well-hydrated on the day of their donation. To learn
more about eligibility and the donation process, please call the Kraft Family
Blood Donor Center at 617-632-3206 or visit www.dana-farber.org/blooddonation. Thank you for making a life-saving difference
for patients in need!
