When it comes to donating blood, everyone has a why and that purpose connects us all. 🩸
“We want to make sure we continue to uplift not only our community, but communities around us.”
— Edward Wilder, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., member
One donation can reach beyond a single person to support patients, families and entire communities in moments that matter most.
Thank you to Edward and everyone who showed up to donate, honor a legacy and help save lives. We’re so grateful to the Chi Gamma Gamma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. for partnering with us again this year for a sickle cell awareness blood drive.
Blood donors who are Black are almost three times more likely to be a match for patients living with sickle cell disease. Closely matched blood helps prevent immune responses and transfusion complications, showing just how powerful community connection can be.
And the impact doesn’t stop there. Blood donations also support patients undergoing surgery, cancer treatment, complicated pregnancies and those facing traumatic injuries.
When we give, we uplift not just our own communities but all those around us.
Give back. Stay connected. Make a lifesaving difference.
