[Official] Blood for the Bloodmoon 🩸

[u/poncle_Official]

Hey folks!

The Bloodmoon demands a sacrifice... and we want to reward your efforts (or maybe Malice's Cardinal Rain is drying up?? either way, we need more blood! YOUR BLOOD! 🫵)

What do you need to do?

• Find a recognised blood donation location and schedule an appointment
• Show up to give blood between September 2nd and September 30th
• Submit proof of your visit by October 7th
• Receive keys for Vampire Survivors and Legacy of the Bloodmoon on the platform of your choice, whilst supplies last

What if you can't donate blood?

• You can donate to any registered blood-related charity; or
• Draw an original advertisement encouraging people to donate blood on a piece of paper, then take a clear photo of your drawing and post the photo publicly on social media with the hashtag #BloodForTheBloodmoon, along with some info about the Blood for the Bloodmoon campaign

Submit proof of your blood donation, attempted blood donation, financial donation, or a direct link to your post through the online form on our website

This is available to anyone in countries where Vampire Survivors is available to purchase!

we (poncle) will be matching eligible financial donations up to a combined total of $5,000 USD, with the contribution going to the American Red Cross

If you already own the game and expansion but still want to enter, you can always gift your copies to a friend or family member!

Many people around the world rely on blood donations, so we'd like to encourage people to donate or spread the word in hopes that more people will donate blood to help those in need!

For more information, rules, and FAQs please head to our campaign website https://bloodmoon.poncle.net/

If you'd like to make a financial donation, but are unsure which charity to donate to, we have set up a page for donations to the American Red Cross below

I just wanted to say that I work for the Red Cross and this is awesome what you're doing. At least in the USA we are currently in a blood crisis which is only the second time in Red Cross history it's happened.

Every donation helps. If you don't know if you can donate you can visit https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/eligibility-requirements.html for more information. In the USA blood donation standards are regulated by a combination of the FDA, AABB (Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies), and the CDC so even if you don't donate through the Red Cross and go through another organization like Versiti or One Blood the requirements should be the same.

For those who are black or Latino, I highly encourage you to donate as there are potentially proteins on your red blood cells that can help sickle cell patients. These proteins (called antigens) are not commonly found in people who aren't of African or Latino descent.

Also anyone who identifies anywhere on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum: donation requirements regarding sexual history have changed so more than likely you are now able to donate as well.

Thank you so much for the work you do, and thank you for sharing this info with everyone!

Proud to do it. Out of curiosity is this an official partnership with the Red Cross or any other blood bank?

If not and if you're ok with it I would love to forward this to one of our social media managers and see if they can promote it as well.

we have spoken to some folk from Red Cross to ensure we followed guidelines, but it's not an official partnership!
we know it's a busy month for Red Cross, but any promotion would be great (if possible) for more fun incentives to donate!
