Thank You for Donating 

"Thank you for being a blood donor. Your support has been critical to helping save patient lives!  But as you probably know, our challenges remain, especially in light of COVID. In fact, over the past year nearly 14,000 blood drives canceled, resulting in a loss of 351,000 uncollected blood donations. And we especially need help in the coming months, to ensure we have enough blood to serve patients. 
 
To bridge this gap we are asking you to follow the link below to be connected to the nearest blood drive in your area to donate blood during the Holiday Season before hosting an in person blood drive for 2021. If you can give between now and December 31^st your donation will go a long way to support local hospital blood needs.

On behalf of my family, thank you! My daughter Presley has required 5 O Negative blood transfusions in the past 4 years for multiple life saving surgeries. No one in my immediate family a compatible blood donor, so we rely on local donors to help when she needs blood.
