? September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and Catalyst (in partnership with other Sysco Colleague Resource Groups) is calling on all colleagues and allies to step up and help save lives. Sickle cell disease disproportionately affects Black communities, and regular blood donations are critical for those living with the condition. 1 in 3 African American blood donors are a match for people with sickle cell disease. Your donation could be someone’s lifeline. Whether you donate at a local drive or a Red Cross center—every drop counts.

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.
