October 3rd - 7th, 2022 is International Plasma Awareness Week! Please join the Jeffrey Modell Foundation in our efforts to screen potential plasma donors and support confirmed donors. Head to your closest plasma donation center, which you can find here: https://www.donatingplasma.org/donation/find-a-donor-center.
There is currently an increased need for plasma, and you can be the solution! Did you know that it takes 130 plasma donations to treat just one person with Primary Immunodeficiency for a year? Not only will you give the gift of life with your donation, but you’ll also be compensated for your time.
New donors will present their ID and complete a short questionnaire before participating in a brief health screening to confirm donation eligibility. Once your health screening is complete, you’ll sit back and relax for about 90 minutes while your plasma is collected.
Plasma can’t be made artificially in a lab—it can only be gathered from healthy donors. Together we will raise awareness about the importance of plasma for people living with PI and save lives. Will you join us and give the gift of life?
