Beacon Club FAQs

• Can employees participate in the platelet program?

  YES! Employees can participate in all aspects of the platelet program except for the weekend sweepstakes.

• Can I receive a legacy (i.e. Indiana Blood Center, Michigan Blood) pin as well?

  Yes, while supplies last, we are able to offer you both a legacy pin and The Beacon Club pin, but they must be for the current gallon earned in 2020 and beyond.

• Can I receive prior gallon pins?

  At this time, we are only providing gallon pins for the gallon achieved in 2020 and beyond.

• Do I have to enroll for The Beacon Club?

  No, you are automatically enrolled.

• What about my points?

  The program does not utilize points; we are recognizing ALL donors’ journey and commitment to our mission through a celebration of donation milestones which do not require points.

• When will platelet donor pins be available?

  Pins have been ordered and are expected to be in centers by early March.

• When will the new gallons pins be available?

• When will the unique experiences begin?

  We will be phasing in unique experiences in throughout the year starting next month. More details will be provided to you via our normal communication channels like email, social media, etc.

• Why did the program change?

  We listened to our donors and revised the program to be able to recognize ALL donors’ journey and commitment to our mission through a celebration of donation milestones.

• Why do I still see the old program information when I log into my Versiti account?

  We are in the process of getting that information updated with our vendor and we anticipate that to be completed in the next month or so. Please accept our apologies for any confusion.

• Will I still receive my 2019 reward as part of the prior program (i.e. Giving for Life, Warm Hearts)?

  Absolutely, these will automatically be sent to those donors that achieved a reward level. Donors can expect their rewards sometime in February 2020.

• Will January 2020 platelet donations be counted in the milestone calculation?

  YES! All platelet donations in 2020 will be counted. We will retroactively give awards to donors who have achieved milestones in the first few months of the year.
