After tragedy struck decades ago, this team chose action that strengthens patients today.

In 1995 a deadly collision between a train and a school bus claimed the lives of seven children and sent 32 passengers to seven area hospitals. The fire department that responded still carries that day with them, and they turned that memory into action.

For 30 years, the Fox River Grove Fire Department has hosted an annual blood drive to honor lives lost and make sure blood is ready when patients need it.

“It’s emotional"" shared Fire Chief Robert Kreher. ""It gets to you, and I think it’s something that will affect a lot of us for the rest of our lives. It’s a reminder that any day, something like this can happen. People need help. Those students needed blood at the hospital. You never know when someone will need it.”

Their commitment shows what a Blood Drive Coordinator does best: transforming care into readiness so patients have what they need in an emergency. Thank you, Fox River Grove Fire Department, for turning heartbreak into hope.

Hosting a blood drive is one more way to help patients: https://brnw.ch/21wXJDy

Thomas has type 🅾️ blood, which is vital in emergency situations to help stabilize patients.

“I like to give because I have a blood type that can help many in needed situations, but influencing others to give has become a new passion for me,” shared Thomas.

After donating for years on his own, he thought how great it would it be to encourage others to join him. Thomas asked a friend, and that joy fanned the flame even more. It inspired another thought, “if I could get 100 people to donate, think of the number of people I could help.”

🔥 That flame kept growing, leading Thomas to encourage his coworkers to get involved and advocates for their business’s blood drives, continuing to ignite that same purpose in others to help save lives.

The gift that comes from blood donors is “🅾️” so powerful, and serves a purpose that can spark and ignite meaning in others. But it all starts with you. : https://brnw.ch/21wXDFY

Breanne grew up going to blood drives with her grandfather. He was a lifelong donor who later needed blood during cancer treatment.

Now she donates in his honor and volunteers to help others sign up at campus drives. For Breanne, donating is about giving back and making sure blood is there when it’s needed most.

This World Kindness Day, Give the Gift of More Tomorrows.
Fourteen years ago, twins Linda and Laura lost their brother Eric to colon cancer. He was just 37 years old. During his treatment, blood and platelet transfusions gave Eric and his family more precious time together.

Today, the sisters continue to honor his memory by donating platelets, sharing kindness in its most powerful form: the gift of life.

“The small moment it takes to donate is nothing compared to the lifetime someone gains from it,” Linda said. “My twin and I stood together in his last days—now, together, we give so others can have more tomorrows.”

Platelets are vital for cancer patients and others battling serious illness, yet they have a shelf life of only five to seven days. That means the need for donors never stops.

💪🩸 Join Linda and Laura this World Kindness Day by scheduling your blood or platelet donation today — because every act of kindness can help save a life. https://brnw.ch/21wXtbD

Robin is closing in on her 500th donation! 🎉

We asked what inspired her to start donating platelets.

“I had a family member who relied on platelets during leukemia treatment—and I’ve just kept donating ever since,” Robin said.

Her dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Vitalant staff say Robin’s friendly and upbeat spirit lights up the center every time she walks in.

“She’s one of our ‘frequent flyers’! We all recognize her when she comes in. It’s like seeing an old friend!”

Robin aims to donate every three weeks, making a lasting impact for patients who need platelets to survive and heal.

You can make a difference, too!
Next time you donate blood, ask our team about donating platelets—you might just find your new favorite way to give life. https://brnw.ch/21wXr2V

This Veterans Day, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served our country. Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting others is a source of inspiration.
Kelly is a proud U.S. Army veteran and Donor Care team member at Vitalant. During her time in the Army, she saw medics depending on donated blood to keep someone alive, with moments to spare, “Because somewhere, someone cared enough to donate blood,” she said.

Now, at Vitalant, Kelly witnesses that same spirit of giving every day:
“I watch strangers walk through the doors to give a piece of themselves for someone they’ll never meet.”
To anyone who has never donated, Kelly has one heartfelt message: “I ask you to please consider it.”

Thank you, Kelly, and thank you to all veterans, for your service.💙
