A program aimed at raising awareness of the five ways to share life with others through blood, apheresis, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and organ and tissue donation.
The Five Points of Life focuses on the following projects to raise awareness and create the Donation Generation.
- Five Points of Life Educational Curriculum: This project will be developed this year and includes an instructional notebook and DVD aimed at elementary, middle school and high school students. The curriculum materials can be taught during one class period by volunteers from the community, the local blood blank and/or donor organization. When funds are available, a bus will be transformed into a mobile education unit aimed at educating students during the school year, scouts in communities and campers during the summer about donation in our effort to create a “Donation Generation.” The Kids Marathon will tie into the curriculum at the elementary and middle school levels.
- Races: Race Weekend in Gainesville, Florida which includes a Kids Marathon, 5 Points 5K, Half and Full Marathon.
- Kids Marathons: Kids run 25 miles in the school year logging each mile incrementally. They run the last 1.2 miles at the Kids Marathon event.
- Five Points of Life website: Easy to access information on donation including blogs, videos, forums, chat room, activities to tie into educational curriculum, up to date information on donation in layman’s terms and area for giving.
