Participate in 'Quarter with a big heart'!

Countless people need plasma every year. It is vital for people with severe clotting disorders and newborn babies with jaundice, for example. It is also needed for the production of many medications. With your plasma donation, you can make the vital difference because the need for plasma is great.

Some more explanation of the project

Specifically, we are looking for quarters that can call their military to donate plasma at one of our donor centers. After all, their military can easily make their way to a donor center and save lives in an hour! We encourage military personnel to come and donate in groups at noon, as a team building or afterwork. You are, of course, always welcome individually as well.

Every day we check how many military personnel have made an appointment to donate. We can track this through a unique link you receive after signing up.

We plot the number of donors against the total number of military personnel per quarter: quarters with the highest percentage of donors thus score better.

Each participating quarter where a donation is registered is given the label "Quarter with a Big Heart. You can hang this label up visibly. It forms a nice sign to the outside world that your quarter is a 'Quarter with a big heart'.

Annually, the label "Quarter with the biggest heart" is awarded to the winner with the highest number of donations.
