Thank you for your donation!
This year, the need for blood donations is higher than ever, especially for ethnically diverse blood. Many patients have better outcomes when they receive blood from people of similar ethnic backgrounds.
For our Versiti blood drive on August 22, 2024, we had 14 registered donors and collected 9 whole blood units.
That means 27 lives were saved!
Your incredible kindness and commitment helped us replenish our blood supply, which will help local patients of all ethnic backgrounds enjoy more time with their families.
