Nebraska Community Blood Bank: Partnerships Help Raise Awareness

On a hot day in July, high school seniors Alex and Mason saw an ad for free Rita’s Italian Ice at a Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB.org) blood drive just blocks from their homes. They hadn’t had a chance to visit the recently-opened restaurant but they had an open afternoon and a craving for a cool treat. They made the short bike ride to the blood drive and not only claimed their frozen prize, but also became first-time blood donors. The duo left not only with a satisfied sweet tooth, but with a feeling of pride because they had taken the opportunity to help save lives by donating blood.

Omaha Metro businesses – are you looking for ways to broaden your community presence?  By partnering with Nebraska Community Blood Bank, organizations are able to support a great cause and help get more blood products directly to the people who need it most.

Each week Nebraska Community Blood Bank needs approximately 1,000 blood donors to meet the needs of local hospital partners. Their donated blood is used for trauma patients, struggling newborns, people undergoing surgery or battling cancer.

Corporate sponsorship increases awareness of your own company but also increases awareness for organizations you care about. Your sponsorship can include blood drives, giveaways of products, advertising, financial contributions, featured content in company media, event support or volunteerism.
