Palmdale High School Blood Drive sponsored by the Jacob Hefter Foundation

  • Palmdale High School cefeteria (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Jacob Hefter Foundation is partnering with Cedars Sinai to sponsor a blood drive at Palmdale High School. We have worked with Cedars in the past on a blood drive, and are happy to be able to bring it to Palmdale High School, Jacob’s alma mater. Details can be found below, as well as a link to register your donation time. Hope to see you there!

Palmdale High Blood Drive!

Wednesday, October 27th

Inside the School Cafeteria

12:00pm–6:00pm  all-day & open to everyone

 Lifesavers-Click Here to reserve your spot today!

Helpful info & myth de-bunkers:

  • Blood donation is available to ages 16 years old & up

  • 17 years & older can be 110 lbs minimum

  • 16 year olds specifically are required to obtain a signed parent consent form (attached here) and need to be at least 135 lbs if they’re age 16

  • First-timers definitely welcome: one doesn’t need to know their type & will receive comprehensive information to be able to find out their own individual type at no cost whatsoever within two weeks after their donation

  • Access to the online portal which allows donors to see any previous donations, blood type, health-wellness summary & if any fluctuations in b/p, iron, etc.

  • Contrary to some inaccurate beliefs, many people are fine to give blood & majority of common medications are not a problem: cholesterol, antidepressants, blood pressure, birth control, thyroid, even diabetics who take insulin can safely give blood

  • Pain medications including aspirin, codeine, vicodin are also allowed

  • Even those who have had issues with decreased iron can try (most people do not have actual anemia).

  • Taking iron pills, daily vitamins, or pre-natal vitamins is fine.

  • Just like body piercings, tattoos are accepted! (as long as any body-inkwork was performed at a licensed professional shop, and nothing amateur done in a garage or incarceration setting)

  • The human body has approximately 8–10 pints of blood inside & a donation simply consists of just 1 pint. Then, the body will naturally replenish itself & regenerate the strong development of new cells. A helpful metaphor for giving blood is that it’s like an oil change for the body, similar as to an oil change for a car. It’s good & healthy for the body!

  • Cedars-Sinai will provide each & every person complimentary health screenings before donating which includes blood pressure assessment & iron hematocrit evaluation.

  • There’s a brief questionnaire each person fills out of yes/no questions

  • The actual donation process itself only takes about 10 mins & they’re fine to resume their normal day afterwards (go back to class, drive a vehicle, do errands, etc)

  • All-you-can-eat refreshment snacks

  • Walk away not only with a wonderful feeling of touching someone’s life in a deeply meaningful way, yet also receive a complimentary token of appreciation to enjoy a special treat!
