A sincere thank you to Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird, University of Nebraska-Lincoln President Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., and Blood Recipients Haylee and Kayla Werth for attending yesterday's press conference in recognition of National Blood Donor Month and the ongoing need for blood donations across the region.

"We’re incredibly grateful to our community leaders for standing with us today and encouraging folks to make blood donation part of their new year, because one donation can make all the difference for a patient in need," said Cheryl Warholoski, Executive Director of Blood Operations

January is historically one of the most challenging months for the blood supply, as holiday travel, winter weather, and seasonal illness often disrupt donations while patient needs remain constant. National Blood Donor Month serves as a reminder of the lifesaving impact of routine blood donation.

Three generations of women from the Rios family answered the urgent call to donate blood, continuing a powerful family tradition of saving lives.

Pictured left to right are Alma Rios, her granddaughter Ariana Rivera, and her daughter Gina Vega. Alma started this lifesaving legacy back in 1988. Gina followed in her footsteps, becoming a regular donor in 1997, and Ariana proudly made her first donation in 2022.

Here’s to every family creating a tradition of giving back and helping patients in need. ❤️🩸

🩸 It’s National Blood Donor Month!

Our donors don’t ask for recognition, but they deserve it. Every donation is an act of kindness and every donor is a lifesaver. This January, we encourage you to schedule your next appointment, become a lifesaver, or help spread the word.

For more than 20 years, the Munnich family has gathered around the holidays to donate blood and give a gift that truly matters. What started as a family tradition has become a powerful example of giving back during a time when donations are historically low.

This year, they made it even more special by welcoming their foreign exchange student from Norway to join them, sharing this lifesaving tradition across borders and cultures. Thank you to the Munnich family for showing that the spirit of the holidays is about generosity, community, and saving lives!

Talk about a beautiful way to end the year. Please help us congratulate Doug on reaching 200 lifetime donations!

Doug first donated back in high school, but after moving to Seward, his commitment grew. Doug is a familiar face at our Cattle Bank & Trust Blood Drive in Seward, which he supports every eight weeks without fail. His dedication over the years has helped save countless lives and sets an inspiring example for our community!

⏰ Last chance! You have until this Friday to donate blood and choose your thank-you gift: a cozy beanie or a pair of our “Lifesaver” socks!

The need for blood is urgent right now. Holiday travel, winter illnesses, and the New Year slowdown mean donations drop when patients still rely on every unit.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, this is the week to do it!

This Christmas, we’re sharing a message of gratitude straight from the heart. ❤️

Vinny is here because of blood donors — people who showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and gave hope when it mattered most. As we revisit photos of donors throughout the year, we’re reminded that every donation tells a story of generosity.

Thank you to every donor who gave this year! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
