There is plenty of blood at the local blood bank, so they don’t technically need people to donate directly to Eric’s surgery. You can contribute to your local blood bank in Eric’s honor.

However, if you’d like to make the drive to Santa Rosa, A Positive donors can donate directly to Eric’s surgery if they follow these directions:
Blood must be donated at
Blood Bank of the Redwoods
2324 Bethards Drive
Santa Rosa, CA
707-545-1222

Donations take 3-4 days to process and the earliest day for his surgery would be Wednesday. Donations are accepted
Friday and Saturday from 9am-3pm and
Monday – Thursday 12pm-7pm.

There is no cost for donating directly to Eric. You’ll need to provide the blood bank the following information.
Patient Name: Eric Arnold
Hospital Name: Santa Rosa Memorial
M.D. Requesting: Dr. Eichbaum

    UPDATE!!!!!! DO NOT DONATE IN SANTA ROSA!!! They will just turn around and ship your blood to Blood Bank of the Pacific in San Francisco. Please donate directly there to be sure the blood reaches Eric in time. Blood Bank of the Pacific has 16 donation centers in the bay area. Find yours at http://www.bloodcenters.org/donating/centers.htm

    Donating a unit of blood for Eric to use for the next surgery would be called a "Designated Unit".
