Help the Stephenville H-E-B retain their title as the reigning H-E-B Challenge Champion with the highest percentage of donors and greatest number of pints of blood donated!
Potential blood donors may volunteer beginning at age 16 with parental consent; 17-year-olds may give independently and there is no upper age limit for giving blood. All donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, feel well on the day of donation and present a government-issued photo ID each time they give blood. It’s also a good idea to eat a nutritious meal and drink plenty of water before giving blood.
In 2015, 22 H-E-B stores hosted blood drives and together collected 527 units of blood with Carter BloodCare.
An annual traveling trophy is awarded to the store with the highest ratio of donors versus partners (employees); this helps equal the playing field between small and large stores. There is also a trophy awarded to the store that collects the most units of blood. In addition, the Carter BloodCare Central Texas staff hosts an ice cream social for the H-E-B employees of the two winning stores. Stephenville H-E-B is the reigning 2015 champion with highest percentage of donors (39 percent participation). Stephenville H-E-B won for the greatest number of pints donated in 2015: 55 units donated.
