Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. It is essential for surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. Whether a patient receives whole blood, red cells, platelets or plasma, this lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation.
Let’s bring this closer to home. KEN SAMIMI and VICTOR PLASCENCIA are in the fight for their lives. Leukemia is a blood cancer caused by a rise in the number of white blood cells in your body. Those white blood cells crowd out the red blood cells and platelets that your body needs to be healthy. The extra white blood cells don’t work right. Treatment for Leukemia is found in a perfect match bone marrow transplant. Until that is found – blood transfusions are essential to fight the good fight.
So on behalf of KEN and VICTOR, and countless others in the fight for their lives, It’s time to SHOW UP and ROLL UP. Please join us in our 60 day SLEEVES UP Campaign. Our family needs us.
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.
