🧵The winter months are a difficult time for collecting blood, & COVID-19 isn’t making it any easier this year. But cancer patients, expecting mothers, accident victims and countless others are depending on us to keep hospital shelves stocked. @StLukesHealth leaders have an idea:

PLEASE JOIN OUR @StLukesHealth LEADERSHIP BLOOD CHALLENGE! On 2/2, @RedCrossIdaho debuts the challenge on the 14th floor of the One Capitol Center from 9a-3p. We’re asking Boise executives and community leaders to donate blood while challenging their peers to do the same.

.@GovernorLittle, a long-time @RedCrossIdaho blood donor, will kick it off by proclaiming 2/2 as “Red Cross Day in Idaho” & will donate blood. @StLukesHealth leaders are hoping you will also donate blood and challenge your colleagues and peers at other companies to do the same.

You can help w/ these easy steps:
•Schedule your 2/2 appointment at Redcrossblood.org. Use sponsor code LCBoise in box in upper right corner.
•Use this info to call on others to join you in helping save lives.
•Use #LeadershipChallengeBoise
@StLukesHealth @RedCrossIdaho

If you can't give blood on 2/2, don’t worry! Can still be part of the challenge. Donate at one of several other drives across Boise during February while still challenging your peers/colleagues to join you. Make appointments at at RedCrossBlood.org & type in your zip code.

Please know @RedCrossIdaho follows highest standards at all blood drives to keep donors/staff safe, including temp checks, mask use, sanitizing & physical distancing. Also tests all donations for COVID19 antibodies that can be used to boost immune systems of people sick w/ virus.

Please join @StLukesHealth leaders & others on 2/2 for 1st-ever @RedCrossIdaho Leadership Challenge Boise Blood Drive & then throw down the gauntlet and challenge other community leaders to do the same. We hope you can be part of the beginning of this fun, lifesaving tradition!

And be sure to let us know if you and your company decide to participate. We'd love to give you a virtual high five! @StLukesHealth @RedCrossIdaho

And if you need convincing to join the @RedCrossIdaho #Leadershipchallengeboise, consider that your ONE donation can literally help save up to THREE lives.
