Mosquitoes are collecting blood from us and our friends every day, without asking, but we’d rather be donating blood to a better cause. The Red Cross has to collect 15,000 blood donations every day to have enough blood to help patients in 2,700 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. That’s a lot of patients in need and all of us, coming together, can help ensure patients receive life saving blood. We are hoping you’ll pledge to donate blood with us and Beat the Bloodsuckers.
