The Blood Connection is bringing a blood donation truck to Vickery Hall on Thursday, April 2nd, and we need YOU to show up and make an impact! Not only will your donation help save lives in our local community, but it also supports fundraising for the American Heart Association, one of the nation’s leading organizations in heart health awareness, research, and education.
💉 Why this matters:
Only about 3% of eligible Americans donate blood each year, even though millions of patients need it for surgeries, injuries, and chronic illnesses like leukemia.
The Blood Connection is the sole provider of blood products to hospitals throughout the Upstate, meaning donors directly support neighbors, friends, and family in local care facilities.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion, and every donation counts.
Nearly 25% of donated blood in the U.S. is used by cancer patients, highlighting how vital these donations are for ongoing treatment and recovery.
🎉 Incentives for donors:
The first 20 donors will trigger a $500 donation from The Blood Connection to the American Heart Association!
For every 30 donors after that, another $500 will be donated, so the more you give, the more we raise!
All students who donate receive $30 as a thank you (one donation per student).
🩸 Who can donate:
Most healthy individuals ages 16+ are eligible to donate, and the process is quick, safe, and rewarding.
Even if someone can’t donate themselves, coming out to support friends and spread the word matters, every donation has the potential to save multiple lives.
