impactu award

Build your resume and leadership experience while giving back to your local community. Personal blood donations are not required, although we always encourage donations from those able to give.

Your support of blood donation directly impacts local hospital patients in a life changing way. In recognition of your achievement, students who complete the Student Impact Award Program will receive:

• Resume-building experience & volunteer hours
• Personal reference letter 
• Satisfaction and pride for helping save lives 
   

HOW TO EARN

Students must complete one of the following requirements over the course of their undergraduate college career:
 

HOST A NEW DRIVE

• Host a 10+ unit blood drive that is new (not on an existing account). Drive can occur at a community location OR at one of our Donor Center locations but must be a drive that you and/or your organization has never hosted before. Email hello@impactlife.org with questions and to get started today. 
   

ESTABLISH A NEW STUDENT ORGANIZATION

• Start a new Registered Student Organization on your campus. Organization must hold at least 1 blood drive per semester and have at least 10 active members.
   

GROW AN EXISTING STUDENT ORGANIZATION 

• Achieve at least 10% growth in collected donations of your school’s existing RSO chapter on your campus.  See our Tips for Success and Marketing Toolkit below for ways to help grow your drive! 
  
  Example: If your student organization’s blood drives collected 50 units last year, we would ask that you achieve 55 units this year to achieve 10% annual growth. 
  
  Note: This option is only available on campuses with existing ImpactLife Registered Student Organization. Your ImpactLife Representative and/or faculty liaison are available to assist you in reaching these goals. Please email hello@impactlife.org with any questions or to get started on one of these requirements today.

You are not limited to your campus when it comes to hosting a blood drive! Encourage your peers to check out one of our donor center locations to give, or reach out to local businesses to see if they will host a blood drive!
