It’s called Give a Pint, Get a Pint, and it’s exactly that.

Donors who give a pint of blood at the Blood Bank’s Dillingham Donor Center (2043 Dillingham Blvd.) and Hilo’s Prince Kuhio Plaza on Memorial Day will receive a coupon that can be redeemed for a pint of ice cream at participating Baskin-Robbins stores.
Blood donations will be accepted on Memorial Day at the Dillingham Donor Center from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at the Prince Kuhio Plaza from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The donation process is safe and usually takes about an hour. There is some paper work, a confidential interview and a mini– physical, but the actual collection of blood takes only five to eight minutes.
The requirements to be a blood donor are simple:
— Be in good health.
— Be 18 years of age or older (17 with signed Blood Bank of Hawaii parent/legal guardian consent form).
— Weigh at least 110 pounds.
— Bring a valid photo ID with date of birth.
