When my grandson, Gideon, was diagnosed with leukemia the day after his 7th birthday, I wondered what a grandparent could do to support him through his cancer journey. As a long time blood and platelet donor, I realized one of the most important ways I could help was to continue to donate and do everything I could to increase awareness for the need for blood donors – not just for cancer patients, but in general. That’s what led me to start an on-going blood drive called "Gideon’s Gallons" in honor of my grandson.
So SleevesUp and help us reach our goal. Make and keep an appointment to give blood to the American Red Cross.
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.
