    Donation Types…<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    You can give a donation of either “Power Red” or of “Blood.” When you register, you’ll be asked to select one of these types. According to the Red Cross website, here are the differences:<\/p>\n

    Power Red<\/span><\/strong>:<\/b> A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg, B Neg, or O blood.<\/p>\n

    Blood<\/span><\/strong>: <\/b>The most common type of donation, during which approximately a pint of ‘whole blood’ is given. This type of blood donation usually takes about an hour.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
