Patients Need Your Help This January. Host a Blood Drive During National Blood Donor Month, Jan. 7

Host a Blood Drive During National Blood Donor Month, Jan. 8 – 31.

The winter months bring several challenges for the blood supply. On average, 4,000 fewer donations are given in January due to the holidays, inclement weather and cold and flu season. For this reason and to encourage new donors to start giving, January was established as National Blood Donor Month in 1969. Blood drive coordinators serve a VITAL role in ensuring patients have the blood they need and in encouraging new donors to donate.

Join us in safeguarding patient needs this January and get a special thank you!

Why Host?

Every year around the time of his birthday, Bowen's Mom, Emily, hosts a blood drive in his honor. Bowen was born with multiple heart defects and in the first days of his life Bowen received his first blood transfusion. He has since needed more during two subsequent open-heart surgeries to date. Emily is grateful for those who selflessly donate blood.

"The obstacles Bowen has overcome and continues to overcome would not be possible without blood donors who selflessly give to put smiles on the faces of Bowen and countless others," she said.
