 Who Will You Help?

Your single donation can save up to three lives, including:

  • Cancer & leukemia patients

  • Trauma & accident victims

  • Mothers & newborns

  • Sickle cell & surgery patients

  • Those affected by natural disasters

 Did You Know?

  • Someone needs blood every 2 seconds

  • Blood has a 42-day shelf life

  • 1 in 7 hospital patients will need blood

  • The average adult has 10–12 pints of blood

  • It takes 33,000 donors every day to meet U.S. patient needs

  • There’s no substitute for blood — it’s essential for life
