It’s my birthday! So I’m asking you for a donation. But I’m not asking for money. I’m asking for something priceless — your time, and your blood. The need for blood is real, and because it’s summer time, there is a critical shortage of much needed blood products.
This year I’m hosting a SleevesUp virtual blood drive and asking friends and family to pledge to give blood in the next 30 days. Together, we’ll track our pledges, cheer each other on, and, most importantly, provide a lifesaving gift for patients in need.
To get started, make your pledge by clicking the red button above, and then visit redcrossblood.org to schedule your donation appointment. You can give at a locally hosted blood drive or at a permanent Red Cross blood donation center. Double reds, whole blood, or platelets: dealer’s choice. All are critical to those in need.
The impact we can make together is the best gift I can imagine! Thanks for helping celebrate my birthday and for helping save patient lives with your generous gift. Please pledge to give blood today! Let’s get 43 pints to celebrate my 43 years!
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.
