Platelet donors are a special kind of lifesaver. Their donations are essential for patients undergoing cancer treatments, transplants, and those facing serious illnesses — and they’re needed every single day.

What makes platelet donors truly remarkable is their commitment. The process takes a little longer, but they continue to show up, time and time again, knowing just how critical their donation is for patients who depend on it.

Their generosity, patience, and selflessness make a life-changing impact for so many families.

To all of our platelet donors: thank you for giving the gift of life. We are so grateful for you.

"I was way overdue for a blood donation, so when I got a call last night, I said SIGN ME UP!"

That’s what we love to hear! Patients are counting on donors every day — and showing up for just one hour truly saves lives. Pro tip: scheduling your next donation is the fastest way to stop the calls from us! 😄

Southwest High School wrapped up their final blood drive of the school year on Friday, and what a way to finish! Students exceeded their goal with 41 units collected in a single day. Even more impressive, throughout the school year they collected a total of 110 units, surpassing last year’s total!

High school drives like this are essential to maintaining the blood supply, and these students are proving that you’re never too young to make a lifesaving impact.

Thank you, Southwest High School, for showing what it truly means to be superheroes in your community. 🦹 🦸

As Lab Week comes to a close, we’re reflecting on all the fun, creativity, and team spirit that made this week so special—from themed dress-up days to shared moments that brought everyone together.

But beyond the celebrations, this week is about recognizing the incredible lab professionals who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their dedication, precision, and expertise ensure every unit of blood is safe, tested, and ready for the patients who depend on it.

Their work may not always be visible, but its impact is felt every single day, and it never goes unnoticed.

Thank you to our lab team for everything you do. ❤️🩸👏

“I'm able to donate, and that’s why I do.” ❤️

Danielle has been donating blood since she was just 16 years old. Having seen friends and loved ones rely on transfusions, including during cancer treatments, she understands just how powerful one donation can be.

⚠️ We need to be honest — we’re at just 82% of the platelets needed for patients right now. That 18% gap means cancer patients, burn victims, and others could face delayed care.

If you’re eligible, now is the time. Grab a friend and schedule a donation near you: https://bit.ly/4sLA2R5

Julie has been donating for years to honor the strangers who saved her sister’s life during childbirth, and after hearing her story, her partner Travis didn’t hesitate to make his return to donating ❤️

Travis shared that knowing his O+ blood can help almost anyone who needs it was part of what inspired him.

“Knowing my blood will help save someone’s life is a feeling like no other.”

Julie said it was an easy “yes” for him, and the two ended up spending what Julie described as “a very sweet day date with my fellow O+ partner.”

For Julie, donating is deeply personal.

“I remember how hard my tears fell when the doctor told me 8 people helped save my sister’s life. I wanted to hug each one and thank them.”

Their advice for anyone thinking about donating? “The actual donation is quick and you leave feeling like a real-life superhero.”

Thank you both so much for showing up for others and for bringing more people into the mission!

The future of the blood supply starts with young donors!

High school and college students play a critical role in keeping our communities healthy. With fewer people donating in recent years, it’s more important than ever for the next generation to step up and make blood donation a lifelong habit.

If you’re eligible, now is the perfect time to roll up your sleeve, give back, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

This week, we had the honor of hosting our Sponsor Appreciation Breakfast where more than 35 organizations joined us -- each one playing a vital role in supporting our lifesaving mission.

From hospitals and schools to restaurants and places of worship, these organizations' unwavering commitment over the years has helped keep our hospitals' blood supply strong, ensuring patients always have access to the blood they need.

We also had to honor of welcoming several organizations into our "100 Club," celebrating organizations that have helped collect 100 or more units of blood throughout 2025 alone.

Thank you for standing with us, growing with us, and helping save lives every single day!
