Cara rolled up her sleeve for the very first time in honor of her mom, who recently passed away.

Cara’s mom was an O-negative donor — the universal blood type — and often reminded her family how important blood donation is. Inspired by her mom’s example, Cara decided it was her turn to give back.

She was pleasantly surprised to find the process was much easier than she imagined, with the donation itself taking only about 10 minutes. Her hope? That more people realize just how quick and simple it is to make a lifesaving impact.

Meet best friends and lifesavers Debbie, Lisa, and Kate! Every 56 days, these three turn donating blood into their version of a girls’ day out.

When asked why they donate together, Kate put it best: “We're here for the cookies!” 🍪

"Whenever I got a transfusion, I felt much, much better...I felt alive."

Meet Vinny, an incredible 13-year-old cancer survivor whose story shows just how powerful blood donors truly are. When you donate blood or platelets, you’re not just giving a unit, you’re giving children like Vinny more smiles, more playtime, and more tomorrows.

For April, donating platelets is more than just a good deed, it’s deeply personal.

“When my daughter Ryan (who’s now 17) was just 5, she had a very bad illness,” April shared. “Her platelet count dropped, and she needed platelets to live. They helped save her life. I’m so thankful.”

That experience lit a spark in April that has never gone out. Since then, she’s been inspired to give back. She’s donated platelets an incredible 19 times and doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon!

Meet Robert, one of our top donors with an incredible 516 platelet donations. His dedication is a powerful reminder of just how important platelet donors are for patients in need.

Right now, platelets are critically low, leaving our most vulnerable patients at risk: those battling cancer, recovering from a lifesaving transplant, or fighting for their lives after an accident. This isn’t a routine shortage, it’s a crisis.

We need hundreds of new platelet appointments this week to prevent a devastating shortage in our hospitals. Follow in Robert's footsteps and make a difference today.

Looking to do some good this September? We've partnered with Second Harvest Heartland to help donors amplify their impact!

For every blood or platelet donation made this month, we’ll donate $1 to a local food bank to support neighbors facing food insecurity. That means your donation will save lives and put meals on the table. ❤️

Schedule your appointment today and make a difference in more ways than one! https://bit.ly/46xshHe

Less than 24 hours before her fully booked blood drive, Account Manager Alicia learned that the venue had to pull out -- this gave Alicia just 24 hours to find a new location. Fortunately, the community stepped up in a BIG way.

Alicia reached out to the kiddywampus team, who didn’t hesitate for even a second to take on this responsibility. And just like that, our drive shifted a few blocks down, and ran without a hiccup.

This is what community looks like: pulling together when it matters most so that patients in need never go without. ❤️ Thank you, Kiddywampus, for saving the day so we could save lives!

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month — a reminder of how critical a healthy blood supply is for over 100,000 Americans living with this disease.

This month, we're partnering with Senator Amy Klobuchar and America’s Blood Centers to encourage blood donations, increase funding for sickle cell research, and improve patient outcomes. With your help, we can end sickle cell as we know it.
