Today, on National Donor Day, we’re honoring the power of donation.
This week at the Iowa State Capitol, we were proud to stand with advocates like Alma Brunson, who continues to honor her daughter Micaela Brunson by turning loss into lifesaving action through blood drives and mental health advocacy.
Today, we celebrate every donor who gives hope through blood, organ, eye, and tissue donation. ❤️
