Tips for Donors
- Sign up early so your donation doesn’t interfere with any events you’re planning to attend.
- If you plan to wear a costume at CONvergence, make sure to design it to accommodate a bandage on your arm if necessary.
- Make it a point to stay hydrated. CONvergence ConSuite offers bottled water!
- Eat something. Especially when donating blood, it’s very important to eat. CONvergence ConSuite has rice, fruit, and other snacks.
