Be a part of the campaign celebrating America's blood donors.

Did you know that January is National Blood Donor Month? It began in 1970 when President Richard Nixon made an historic proclamation. During this special month, we encourage all those impacted by the lifesaving power of blood donation to come together to honor and celebrate the incredible generosity of America’s voluntary blood donors.
