About Takes All Types
The National Bloggers Blood Drive fully supports the efforts of Takes All Types and strongly encourages everyone, but especially those participating in NBBD to register with TAT and to help promote them!
Takes All Types (TAT) is a not-for-profit company that uses online social networks to connect a new generation of blood donors to the blood collection organizations who urgently need them.
Why should we care about blood? According to [source], only 5% of Americans who are eligible to donate do so, and their average age is 50. Without a younger generation to replace them, our nation will face a huge crisis.
TAT appeals to a socially active and socially conscious new generation of donors. Using this website and online social networks like Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/takesalltypes/), MySpace, and other channels, TAT enables caring people to quickly and conveniently volunteer as blood donors, show the world their proud participation, and urge their friends to donate, too.
It’s a no-brainer: Your participation saves lives. When you volunteer to become a Takes All Types blood donor, you’ll get personalized alerts whenever your local community needs your type of blood. You can receive the alerts any way you like, such as by text message, Facebook, phone, fax, and e-mail, telling you where and when you can donate.
If you can help us raise the number of donors who actually give blood by just one percent (1%), we will end the chronic blood shortage in North America. Takes All Types is the 1% solution!
