    Why do we hold blood drives? To save lives, benefit our health care students, and more!

    By donating one pint of blood, you may be saving up to three lives. That’s just the first of many reasons Remington College encourages students, faculty, and staff to participate in our 3 Lives Blood Drive campaigns. Remington College was awarded the Partner of the Year Award by America's Blood Centers and has strong relationships with the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America.

  • Remington College - Shreveport Campus Blood Drive Set for March 17, 2011

    Remington College in Shreveport is continuing its series of blood drives to recruit more minority blood donors to benefit Shreveport residents in need of blood.

    The next blood drive will be held on Thursday, March 17 from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm.

    Remington College has partnered with America’s Blood Centers (ABC) and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA) for a series of blood drives on all its campuses. The effort is called 3 Lives - because three lives may be saved for every one pint of blood donated.

    In 2010, Remington College collected 2,650 pints of blood nationally.

    The 3 Lives campaign highlights the need for minority blood donors – especially African Americans. According to America’s Blood Centers and the SCDAA, minority blood donors are in demand for several reasons:

    • The best blood match for a chronically ill patient requiring multiple transfusions throughout their lifetime will likely come from a donor of the same ethnic background.
    • African American donors provide blood with unique antigens, which can mean life-saving treatments for people battling sickle cell, leukemia and other diseases.
    • More than half of the African American and Hispanic populations are Type O blood, the most requested blood type.
    • Changing demographics are increasing the need for more minority blood donors.
    • Approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. have sickle cell disease; many of them will require frequent blood transfusions.

    While the focus is on recruiting minority donors, everyone is encouraged to attend the drive and donate blood. All the blood collected will be used to help people in the Shreveport area.

    Remington College-Shreveport Campus is located at 2106 Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in Shreveport.

    Based in Heathrow, Florida, Remington College is a non-profit career college that offers diploma and degree programs at 20 campuses throughout the United States. Its mission is to provide career-focused education through a variety of programs, including nursing, cosmetology, business office management and criminal justice.
