🩸 Save Our Summer Blood Drive 🩸
June 27–28 | 8 Locations Across Chicagoland
Kick Off the Heart of Summer by Saving Lives!
The need for blood doesn’t take a vacation — and summer is when supplies drop the most. That’s why Vitalant and FOX 32 are teaming up to Save Our Summer with a special two-day community blood drive across Chicagoland.
Your donation on June 27–28 can make a lasting difference for children and families in our community.
Donate and Help Kids Like Caleb and Valerio
Caleb, an energetic 8-year-old from Plainfield, was born with TAR Syndrome — a rare condition that required 17 platelet transfusions in his first year alone. Thanks to volunteer blood donors, Caleb is thriving today.
Valerio was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. After enduring four heart surgeries and over 20 blood transfusions, he’s now full of life and determination — proof that your donation can help a child fight another day.
