About Pickleball

Pickleball is a paddle sport (similar to a racquet sport) that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a per-

forated polymer ball, similar to a Wiffle Ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with sev-eral modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but has become one of America’s most popular growing sports among all ages.

The program uses Bronze, Silver and Gold recognition lev-els to offer benefits to donors who give regularly during a calendar year. The program also offers reward points for ev-ery donation and for being a loyal donor.

These reward points can be redeemed for thank-you gifts in our online Hero Re-wards Store.

How do I become a member of the “Hero in Me” Donor Rewards Pro-gram?Anyone who gives blood on or after Jan-uary 1, 2009, is automatically a member of the “Hero in Me” Donor Rewards Program.

What are the reward levels?Whole blood, plasma, and platelet do-nors reach reward levels as follows: One donation per calendar year: Bronze Level

Two donations per calendar year: Silver Level
