Isotopes' mascot Orbit made a special appearance at our Cumulus Media / Albuquerque Isotopes blood drive last Friday.

And maybe we're biased, but we think his commitment to blood donation is why he was named "Best Minor League Baseball Mascot" by USA Today in 2025 😉⚾

Most film premieres focus on box office numbers, but this one is spotlighting blood donation.

Ahead of the Iron Lung premiere, digital creator Markiplier is using his platform to highlight the ongoing need for donated blood and introduce it to audiences who may not regularly encounter it.

You can make a difference locally by giving blood in here in New Mexico. Every donation helps patients in your community, and we’re grateful for partners like Markiplier who help turn attention into lifesaving impact.

It doesn’t take a village to host a blood drive — it starts with one dedicated blood drive coordinator.

Shout out to Jaclyn (left), who coordinated this first-time drive in Needles, California 👏

Winter weather is already impacting donation plans in New Mexico.

Conditions may look different across the area, and safety always comes first. If it’s safe for you to donate, your appointment still matters. When winter weather limits access for some donors, those who are able to give help keep care on track for patients who rely on blood every day.

As conditions improve, scheduling an appointment is one of the best ways to help ensure patient needs continue to be met. Whether you’re able to donate now or planning ahead, your commitment makes a real difference. Get started: vitalant.org

Thank you to everyone in New Mexico for prioritizing safety while continuing to support patients.

Wayne didn’t slow down in retirement. He simply found a new way to help people.

When he began looking for something meaningful to do with his time, he wanted more than a hobby. He wanted purpose. That search eventually brought him to Vitalant, where he and his wife Millie now help move donated blood from collection sites to the people who depend on it.

Wayne describes it as rewarding, not only because of the impact but because every trip feels like a chance to support something bigger than himself. He enjoys the routine, the conversations, and the knowledge that his time helps patients receive the blood they need.

Volunteers like Wayne and Millie help keep this mission moving, and we’re grateful for the heart and dedication they bring to every shift.

If you’ve ever wondered whether volunteering could fit into your month, this is your moment to give it a try. A few hours can create a real difference for patients who rely on donated blood. Find opportunities near you: https://brnw.ch/21wYlNd

At 83, Ronald proved the coolest birthday tradition is helping patients heal.

He didn’t want gifts or a party. He wanted to give strength to people fighting through cancer treatments, trauma recovery, and other challenges that depend on a steady platelet supply.

So he showed up. Again.

This birthday marked his 282nd platelet donation, a milestone built on decades of showing patients they are not alone. His daughter, Dawn, joined him to make the moment even more meaningful and added another layer of love to a day already filled with purpose.

Happy Birthday, Ronald, and thank you for reminding all of us what impact can look like when you choose generosity year after year.

Join him and celebrate saving lives: https://brnw.ch/21wYkNY

Two gifts. One donation. Big impact for patients who need you this holiday season.

Step in to help patients and walk out with a thank you that feels extra festive. Donate between Dec. 14 and Jan. 4 and you’ll get a $15 gift card plus a mystery item from our donor store (opt-in required). It's a simple way to lift someone’s season and add a little surprise to your own!

Plus, donate in December and you're also automatically entered for a chance to win a $20,000 gift card!

One donation can move patient care forward and might bring an unforgettable moment your way. Learn more and sign up: https://brnw.ch/21wYjDX

Platelet donors like Diana aren't just generous. They're the reason care stays on track for patients who rely on timely support.

Diana has already reached an incredible milestone in her platelet journey. Her 200 units helped people facing cancer treatment, blood disorders, open heart surgery, or organ transplants. Platelets move quickly to patients because they must be used within a week which means donors who show up regularly make an immediate difference.

A strong platelet supply gives patients stability during some of their toughest moments. Diana’s commitment helps make that possible and yours can too.

The spark behind every successful blood drive is a coordinator who refuses to let patients go without support.

These organizers rally their people, keep things moving and create the kind of energy that brings donors through the door ready to help.

Janet is one of them. She stepped into the role more than a decade ago and has supported multiple drives every year. When the blood supply faced a major challenge in 2020, she found new ways to keep donors engaged and helped strengthen participation when it mattered most.

If you enjoy bringing people together and making a positive impact, becoming a blood drive coordinator is a powerful way to help. Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wYfkm
