Platelets

Plasma and Platelet Donations

To emphasize the importance of these blood products and encourage donations, the Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program has expanded opportunities for individuals interested in becoming platelet or plasma donors. For each platelet or plasma donation, the program will disburse $10 to an approved Masonic 501(c)(3) Charity of the donor’s choice (fill out a Charity Donation Request Form).

Platelet donors are permitted to make up to 24 donations per year, and plasma donors are permitted up to 12 units per year. For more information about becoming a Masonic Blood+Organ Donor Program platelet or plasma donor, contact the American Red Cross, Miller-Keystone Blood Centers, Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank, Community Blood Bank or Vitalant.
