Bre is a dedicated Type O donor with a powerful "why." She rolls up her sleeves in memory of two very special people: her father-in-law, who lost his battle with blood cancer, and her dear friend, Brielle.

By sharing her spark, Bre ensures their legacies live on through the patients she helps today. Type O blood is constantly in high demand, and donors like Bre are the lifeline our local hospitals rely on.

Two weeks in the hospital. Severe blood loss. A family waiting at home.

Courtney Miller, a mother of three and dairy goat farmer, faced serious complications after a lifesaving liver transplant. Blood transfusions helped stabilize her and support her recovery so she could return to the people and animals who depend on her.

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. All blood types are needed, especially type O.
