America is facing the lowest number of blood donations in 20 years, with donations falling by about 40% over that time. In fact, in 2023, the Red Cross had about 300,000 fewer donors than it had in 2019 before the pandemic. The decrease in donations has led to only 7% of blood centers in the US having enough blood supply to meet normal medical demands, forcing the Red Cross to declare an emergency blood shortage. This emergency blood shortage threatens patient care and forces doctors to make tough choices about who can receive blood transfusions, but we can help.

This February, be the reason someone’s heart can continue to beat. Join Market Performance Group’s virtual blood drive to bolster support, educate, and encourage blood donations from those who are willing and able to do so. Due to federal laws, there are some restrictions on donating blood. If this is your first time donating, please contact a medical professional or visit the Red Cross’s eligibility page to verify your donation eligibility: https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/eligibility-requirements.html

When you pledge to donate, you will be provided with physical blood drive locations near you. As long as you donate at one of the provided locations by the end of March, your donation will be tracked under our blood drive.

Market Performance Group is happy to support this extremely important initiative. We thank all participants for your support as well. Together, we can make a difference. #MPGsSweetheartDonors and consider donating and helping to save lives!
