Power UP! Give Platelets Today to Help Cancer Patients

You’re just the right type to give platelets! Power UP to a platelet donation to help cancer patients.

As a platelet donor, you’ll play a vital role in the care of cancer patients. Over 50% of all donated platelets go to cancer patient care. They often receive multiple platelet transfusions during their chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Because of donors like YOU, cancer patients can recover quicker and continue to make memories with their loved ones.
