Greetings! I am writing to let everyone know that the 9th annual Amanda L. Kundrat Memorial Blood Drive will be held this Thursday, January 27 in 7 Sparks Building from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Please help us make the 2011 Memorial Drive a success!
How can you participate?1)
Donate blood at the memorial drive:
We need to have a minimum number of presenting donors every year in able to sustain this annual drive. We have been fortunate in meeting our goals for eight consecutive years. Please help us do it again! This memorial blood drive is also considered a THON blood drive, which means the American Red Cross will donate four dollars to the Four Diamonds Fund for every presenting donor (credited to the THON-registered organization of the donor's choice). The canteen will be serving pizza to donors. To schedule an appointment to donate, visit
www.psuredcross.org.
2)
Donate blood at a local blood drive:If you do not live in the State College area, you can still participate! Just donate blood at a local Red Cross blood drive and send me an email with your name and the location of your donation. I will pass this information along to the Penn State Red Cross and these numbers will be counted toward our goal!
3)
Donate to the Amanda L. Kundrat Health Communication Thesis of the Year Award:The purpose of this award is to encourage young scholars to pursue health communication research that contributes to the greater good. We are hopeful to raise enough funds to make this a sustainable award that will honor Amanda's memory for many years to come. You can read more about the award at

Donate to the American Heart Association:In March of 2008, Judi Weiner ran her very first 15K in honor of Mandy’s memory, and over the past two races/years, raised over four thousand dollars for the American Heart Association! If you would like to make a donation electronically, please visit: http://cincinnati.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=421619&supid=202564034. If you would prefer to make a donation for some other dollar amount....e.g., .50 cents a mile ($4.55) or a $1.00 a mile ($9.32) and/or pay by check, you can make the check to: The American Heart Association and send it to Judi at: Judith L.
Weiner, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Communication, 160B Bachelor Hall, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056. Please put "Judi Weiner" in the 'memo' section so your donation can be added to her "team pot."
