Meet Tracey Owings, a hero in our community.

For years, Tracey has been a loyal donor at our Bayshore Gardens center, giving over 20 gallons of lifesaving blood. But his dedication runs even deeper than the numbers.

After losing his 10-year-old granddaughter to leukemia and his sister to breast cancer, Tracey continues to roll up his sleeve with one hope: to give other families a little more time with their loved ones.

Thank you, Tracey, for turning your grief into hope and your pain into purpose. You are making a difference, one donation at a time. ❤️

Snowbird season is here, and our hospitals are busier than ever.​

With more people on the roads and in our community, just one major trauma can require several units of blood to save a life. This holiday season, please take time to donate and help ensure Bayflite2 and our hospital partners have the blood they need when every second counts.

Meet Nick — our first platelet donor of 2026.
Nick began donating in honor of his wife’s friend who bravely battled breast cancer, and what started as a tribute turned into a lifelong commitment. For 40 years, Nick has continued to give, saving lives along the way. He says SunCoast Blood Centers feels like his second family — and there’s no better way to start the new year than with a good deed.
