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 asking people to donate money to a charity this year, I’m instead hosting a "SleevesUp" virtual blood drive and asking friends and family to pledge to give blood in the next 90 days. Together, we’ll track our pledges, cheer each other on, and, most importantly, provide lifesaving gifts for people in need.

PLEASE SHARE THIS LINK WITH YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLES – LET’S SEE HOW BIG AN IMPACT WE CAN MAKE!

To participate, make your pledge by clicking the red button above:
• If you already have an appointment scheduled for some time in the next 90 days, you can log your pledge, anyway, and then just click out when the website takes you to the scheduling page (your pledge will be recorded). And then, since you’ll likely become eligible to donate again in these 90 days, you can make a 2nd pledge toward our goal!
• If you don’t already have an appointment scheduled, the system will take you right to redcrossblood.org to schedule your donation appointment after clicking the button.

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!
