Myriam hadn’t donated blood until her friend Claire encouraged her to give. Now, the two make it a tradition to stop by Vitalant blood drives on their college campus in between classes.

Many people never donate simply because no one asks. Be that friend who inspires someone to give. Together, you can help save lives.

From Surviving to Saving Lives 💙

In January 2025, Jenn's life changed overnight. What began as hip pain turned out to be large ovarian masses.

During a second surgery, she required nearly nine units of blood.

“Without someone’s donation, there would have been no blood to give me,” she said.

Her recovery was long, but her gratitude inspired action. As a nurse and long-time donor, Jenn began organizing blood drives, bringing co-workers and first-time donors together to give back.

Now, she’s planning her next drive.

“This small act of kindness can have a huge impact,” she said. “I’m living proof that it matters.” Get involved: https://brnw.ch/21wXiYb.

Meet Sabrina a dedicated blood drive coordinator & lifesaver
Sabrina has always believed in the power of giving blood. “I take pride in being a blood drive coordinator. I’ve always felt it was very important and lifesaving, so I faithfully donated each time I could.”
In December 2024, she reached her 64th donation, not knowing that one day, she’d soon need blood herself. After suffering a heart attack, she received three units of blood during and triple bypass surgery.
“Blood donations mean even more to me now that I personally benefited from it.”
Though she can’t currently donate herself, Sabrina continues to coordinate blood drives to ensure others have blood when they need it most.
Thank you, Sabrina, for living the mission and inspiring others to give the gift of life! Get involved: https://brnw.ch/21wXgUv

Meet Liz, a college student who helps save lives by coordinating blood drives on campus. Each drive she organizes connects classmates, professors, and friends around one powerful mission: helping patients who rely on blood every day. ❤️

Another way you can help hospital patients is by hosting a blood drive. Community organizations, businesses, and individuals are always needed to take on this role, in person or virtually.

Did you know, living with diabetes does not automatically disqualify you from donating blood? Diabetes is a condition that affects over 38 million Americans. If your diabetes is well-controlled, through lifestyle changes, oral medication or insulin, you may still be eligible to donate if you meet all other eligibility requirements. It’s best to check with your healthcare provider and ensure your blood sugar is within a stable range. Read more about all eligibility requirements: https://brnw.ch/21wXa5i

Swollen elbows led to a devastating diagnosis for 5th grader, Ben: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. What followed was a three-year journey of chemotherapy, seizures, feeding tubes and 28 blood transfusions.

Ben faced every challenge with courage, strength and a lot of humor -- he literally marked “CUT HERE” on his chest before surgery. His family, teachers, and nearly 200 volunteers rallied around Ben and his entire family, proving no one fights alone.

This past September, Ben beat cancer. His message to other kids:
“Don’t give up. Believe. We can make it through—even if we’re young.” 💪🎗️ Help save lives with your blood donation: https://brnw.ch/21wX2y8

Honoring Heroes on National First Responders Day.

Today, we celebrate the courage, skill, and dedication of the first responders who are there for us in our most critical moments.

Thanks to incredible partnerships in select cities with fire departments, emergency medical services agencies and hospitals, prehospital blood transfusions are now saving lives before patients even reach the hospital.

This groundbreaking capability means lifesaving blood reaches severely injured patients minutes faster, giving them a fighting chance before they ever reach the emergency room.

It's one more way your vital blood donation can help save lives.
Together, we’re turning every response into a chance for survival.
