  <body>&lt;div&gt;This&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;quick&amp;nbsp;reminder about our upcoming Blood Drive, happening August 21st, Friday, in McCarren Park, from 4 to 9:30pm. The &lt;a href="http://www.nybloodcenter.org/index.jsp"&gt;New York Blood Center&lt;/a&gt; is low on donors this summer, so Jauntsetter and a bunch of other local startups are doing our part to give back.&amp;nbsp;We hope you'll join us! By donating, you'll be saving three lives - and you'll also get lots of free goodies and giveaways - read on to find out more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jauntsetter Blood Drive&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On Friday, August 21st at McCarren Park, from 4 to 9:30pm, we're hosting a blood drive with some awesome Brooklyn startups: &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://haydenharnett.com/"&gt;Hayden-Harnett&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://brooklynbased.net/"&gt;Brooklyn Based&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://carrotcreative.com/"&gt;Carrot Creative&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We're extremely excited to join forces with them to do some good, but we can't run a successful blood drive without your help. In fact, July and August are the slowest months for the &lt;a href="http://www.nybloodcenter.org/index.jsp"&gt;New York Blood Center&lt;/a&gt;, and they really need our donations. So please &lt;a href="https://drm.nybloodcenter.org/PublicScheduler/GroupWelcome.aspx?Group=64086"&gt;click on this link and sign up for a spot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As an added incentive to sign up for one of the early spots, we'll be giving away goodies to our first 75 donors, including jauntsetter totes and some amazing &lt;a href="http://haydenharnett.com/"&gt;Hayden-Harnett&lt;/a&gt; discounts, as well as &lt;a href="http://www.tawnyong.com/"&gt;delicious cupcakes from Tawny Ong&lt;/a&gt;, and some &lt;a href="http://www.williamsburger.com/wb/menus/bagel-store-menu/"&gt;hearty snacks from The Bagel Store&lt;/a&gt;. Even better? The first 25 people who show up for the beginning of the drive (which is usually the slowest) get tokens for the &lt;a href="http://www.vanleeuwenicecream.com/"&gt;Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Truck&lt;/a&gt; for a free cone!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Final details: The blood drive bus will be parked at North 12th and Bedford, and the drive goes from 4 to 9:30pm - giving you plenty of time to give a pint and head out to dinner in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bottom line:&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://drm.nybloodcenter.org/PublicScheduler/GroupWelcome.aspx?Group=64086"&gt;Sign up to donate blood on August 21st here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</body>
