Blood donation isn’t just for accidents—it’s for survival.

For those living with Sickle Cell disease, regular blood transfusions can mean the difference between crisis and survival. Yet only 12% of blood donations come from communities of color—even though patients often need closely matched blood from donors of similar backgrounds.

This September, during Sickle Cell Awareness Month, your donation could change everything.
