AMSA Vampire Cup!

Tuesday, 27 July 2010 16:23

Did you enter medical school so you could save lives?

Do you want to prove yourself -and us- against all the med schools of Australia?

Do you ever wake up and feel you simply have an excess of blood pumping through your veins (, arteries, arterioles, capillaries and venules?)

AMSA has the challenge for you!

Donate blood, plasma or platelets at any one of the Australian Red Cross' convenient locations between July 12 and August 31st  

and enter the AMSA Blood Drive (Vampire Cup) at http://www.donateblood.com.au/Register-Individual.aspx?IDDataTreeMenu=318

 

To heat up that sizzling competitive spirit in all of us, WAMSS is taking the blood-letting a step further with the first ever Inter-Year Cup!

Each time you donate, simply drop an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to let us know (helping WAMSS to win the AMSA Vampire Cup since 2010!) and by September we'll know which year group bleeds best and biggest. It's on!
