Donor Recognition & Rewards

At Stanford Blood Center, we love to celebrate our donors! If you have donated blood with Stanford Blood Center, you’ve been enrolled in our Loyalty Program. For each donation (or attempt to donate), you’ll be awarded points that you may redeem in our online store. You’ll also have online access to your historical vital statistics such as cholesterol, hemoglobin, and blood pressure, as well as donation history. It’s our way of thanking donors for their generous support of our community’s patients.

Donation Point System

Here’s how many points you will earn each time you donate whole blood, platelets or plasma:

  • Visit 1 = 100 points
  • Visit 2 = 125 points
  • Visit 3 = 150 points
  • Visit 4+ = 175 points

If you donate double red blood cells (DRBC), points are earned on this schedule:

  • DRBC Visit 1 = 200 points
  • DRBC Visit 2 = 225 points
  • DRBC Visit 3 = 250 points

Donor Milestone Program

Dick Tagg, 700 times donor

Devoted donor Alden “Dick” Tagg, one of the first donors to reach the 700 donation milestone at Stanford Blood Center.

In addition to our Loyalty Program and rewards store, we take great joy in cheering on our donors as they reach incredible milestones of service to their community. On the day of the milestone donation (100+, 200+, etc.), we indulge in a little celebration and lots of good conversation with some of the best people we have the pleasure to know.

Precious Mettle Breakfast

All donors who reach the milestone of 100+ donations are invited to our annual Precious Mettle Breakfast.

Below are group photos from the 2016 breakfast. You can download all event photos on our Flickr stream, or click on the group photo below to open a high-resolution version, then right-click to save the photo to your computer.

Thank you, as always, to all of our Precious Mettle donors!
