On behalf of The American Society of Hematology and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc:
We are especially concerned about an adequate blood supply for individuals with sickle cell
disease (SCD) for whom transfusions are life-saving and prevent complications, including
devastating complications such as stroke.
Since patients with SCD are at a very high risk of alloimmunization, providing prophylactic
C, E, and K matched red cells must remain the standard of care, and this requires minority
blood donors
A little effort on OUR part will help a LOT of people.
YOU have options when it comes to helping others
Time to GIVE
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.
