They say it’s better to give than receive, and I couldn’t agree more. Which is why I’m donating my birthday to the American Red Cross!
In lieu of gifts 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. You may also be able to find more convenient locations at hospital donor centers.
I know exactly what these donations mean. I was a regular blood donor until complications prevented me from doing so. I have also been the recipient of this life saving gift. The impact we can make together is the best gift I can imagine! Thanks for helping celebrate my birthday, and for helping save lives with your generous gift. Please pledge to give blood today!
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.
