This blood drive is being held in memory of my Aunt Pudding who passed away on January 2, 2019 and in honor of my close family members who live with sickle cell disease. There is no cure for sickle cell; however, blood transfusions are essential in managing the pain and long term health of people living with sickle cell. Blood transfusions can make a life saving difference for someone experiencing a sickle cell crisis.
Please join us today to save a life by pledging to donate blood.
For more information on the Red Cross’ initiative to reach more blood donors to help patients with sickle cell disease, please see below:

Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
