During the summer, several thousand fewer donations are given each month on average compared to the rest of the year; this year the donation decline is also being impacting by the continued impact of  COVID-19 and workforce shortages.  Also, in Northern California – where devastating fire seasons impact donors’ availability to donate, your support is critical.  Your donation could save the life of a child who suffered a terrible accident, a grandmother battling cancer or a friend with a blood disorder fighting for their life.  Schedule your appointment to donate now. Because of you, life doesn’t stop.

All donors receive a Round Table pizza pass, good for one personal-size 1-topping pizza and an exclusive Summer Classic blood donor T-shirt! 

Everyone wins and 5 win big! To thank donors who help end the blood shortage by giving blood, we will send all blood, Power Red, platelet and plasma donors who present to donate between August 1 and 15, a $6 prepaid gift card.* Click here for more information. 

August donors will also be entered to win 1 of 5 $3,000 prepaid gift cards.* Both offers are redeemable by email. Win big and help end the critical blood shortage. Click here for more information.
