I know that our high school sponsors blood drives throughout the year and many of the team members donate. If you do consider this, there are restrictions so please check into them. Here in Austin they are:
- you must be 17 years of age
- weigh 110 + pounds
- be in good health
(I hope I am not offending anyone by making this post.)

Here's what imput I can give:
When they do blood drives at our school (In Florida) you have to be :
- 16 years old WITH parental permission slip
- 110+ lbs
- Good Health
