Community Bonds Through Blood – Host a Summer Blood Drive and Receive a $25 Amazon.com Gift Card!  

During the summer months, there's a decline in the number of blood drives hosted and blood donations made. This decline poses a risk to patients in need of transfusions for surgeries and medical treatments. Without an adequate blood supply, surgeries may be postponed or even cancelled, leaving patients vulnerable. 

You can make a difference in your community by hosting a blood drive. Come back and host between May 1st and August 31st and collect at least 12 donations, and you’ll receive a $25 Amazon.com Gift Card, redeemable via email. For additional information visit vitalant.org/communitybonds. Be sure to check out our Decades Series T-shirt offering for donors and coordinators; read more about it in this newsletter! 

Join us in our mission to build a stronger, healthier community one donation at a time. When you host a blood drive, you're not just organizing an event—you're fostering a sense of unity and compassion within your organization or neighborhood. You're bringing together neighbors, coworkers, family and friends for a common cause: to save lives. 

A blood drive is more than just a donation event; it's a beacon of hope in times of need. It's where community spirit converges with the act of caring for those who need it most. Together, we can ensure that life doesn't stop for those who depend on blood. 

Over 700 additional blood drives are needed this summer to meet the needs of patients. And with the number of donors dropping sharply around major holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, your contribution is crucial. 

Don't wait—become a hero for patients in need by hosting a blood drive this summer. Reach out to your Vitalant account manager today to get started or click here to have someone contact you. Let's make this summer a season of hope, healing, and community.
