Each donor receives two tickets to the Sacramento Republic FC game on June 15 and through Vitalant Rewards, a $10 gift card and automatic entry into a Summer Adventure giveaway to receive one of five $5,000 gift cards.
June 14 is World Blood Donor Day. Join us at the Bleed for the Need blood drive with Fox40 and the Sacramento Republic to help patients whose goal is to live and thrive.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. This could be a little girl in the ICU or a mother with Stage 3 leukemia. If you’re worried about needles, don’t be—most blood donors compare the experience to a mild, split-second pinch! The entire process is very safe and very fast, and you will feel amazing knowing you potentially saved up to three people.
Make an Appointment
If you're in good health and meet the general eligibility criteria, then you are likely able to give blood. Even if you’ve donated before, you may have specific questions about eligibility if you recently got a tattoo, traveled abroad or take certain medications. If you were told previously that you were disqualified from donating blood you might be able to now. Recent changes now allow over 60% of the population to give blood.
Drink plenty of water, eat well, and bring a photo ID.
Because of you, life doesn't stop.

I believe the idea that my blood could help save a life is so amazing. Even though I am not a trained medical professional, I can still make a positive impact on others.
