Blood Drive Vladimir Skin

I am a blood drive coordinator for the American Red Cross. We are interested in working with Riot Games to create an online blood drive in which in-game rewards such as RP and an exclusive blood donation themed skin for Vladimir would be given to players who donate blood or refer others for blood donation. What would you guys think about a blood donation themed Vlad? Do you have any ideas on what he might look like?

We are also trying to figure out how much of the LoL playerbase is eligible for blood donation, and what kind of rewards they would like for doing so. With the size of this game's playerbase, this is something which has the potential to save a lot of lives. If this is something you would like to see happen (or even if it's not), please take the survey above and let us know. Thanks!

My wife has been volunteering for the Red Cross and educated me about this event from back in 2011 that is the origin of Nurse Akali:

Coincidentally just this morning I suggested the idea of doing something like this again because I personally agree that donating blood is a vital cause. Something with Vlad would be most appropriate >:)

Sadly, I cannot donate blood. I would definitely refer people if I could get rewards for doing so (especially a Vlad skin).

Love the idea! I think it would encourage a lot of people to donate! Luckily I don't play Vlad all that much, as I have Hemophobia and would definitely want that skin, lol!

How would this work with people in Canada (or any other country in NA)? I'm in montreal/quebec precisely.

We could work with the Canadian Red Cross at a later time, but initially it will just be the American Red Cross.

This is still an idea worth doing.

I like the idea a lot. I believe that this skin has been brought up by players in the past as one they would like to have(although not related to an actual blood drive) so doing something like this should be pretty well received.

Skins for blood? I'd do it.
