Years ago the fiancé of someone at my college job was in for an operation and asked for blood donors to help reduce his medical bills. I actually went out and donated blood at a college blood drive and they had some sort of card that I could take and they would actually credit a pint of blood in some sort of exchange mechanism. I forgot to hand over the form though.
I've been told that I couldn't donate blood for a year because I'd been on vacation overseas somewhere outside of a major city. They were concerned about the possibility of malaria.
It's kind of interesting. Saw someone pass out once after giving blood. That's a primary reason they make people wait while they eat cookies and apple juice.
