This campaign is deeply personal to me because throughout his life, Zach needed blood transfusions more than once. Those donations gave him time, moments, and memories that I will always be grateful for.
In honor of what would have been his 5th birthday, creating this blood drive felt like the most meaningful way to give back and pay that gift forward to someone else who may be fighting their own battle.
Rather than letting the day pass quietly, I want it to stand for something. Every donation made in his name is a way to honor his strength, his life, and the love that continues to surround him.
Blood donors helped give Zach time that he otherwise would not have had. That kindness will never be forgotten. Using his birthday to encourage others to donate blood is a small but powerful way to turn remembrance into action and help save lives in his honor.
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.
