Save Lives This Winter: Join the YLD Blood Drive
Pikuach nefesh — the obligation to save a life — is a core principle of Halakha, Jewish law.
According to the American Red Cross, someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds. Blood donations support people of all ages facing a wide range of medical needs, including accidents, burns, surgeries, transplants, and cancer treatment.
A single whole blood donation can save up to three lives.
The Young Leadership Division (YLD) of Chicago’s Jewish United Fund invites you to fulfill this powerful mitzvah by participating in our blood drive campaign. You can help by spreading awareness and/or registering to donate blood with our partners at the American Red Cross at a time and location that is most convenient for you between January and March.
Together, we can make a life-saving impact, for good.
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.
