Earlier this year, we organized a blood drive to support the New York Blood Center and We Are Blood in Austin, Texas. We're very proud of the 16 team members who braved the needle and donated. With each blood donation up to three lives can be saved, this means our team have potentially helped save the lives of 48 people in need.

Hospitals and patients rely upon a steady flow of volunteer donors to receive life-saving donations. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Blood is essential to help patients survive surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. This lifesaving care starts with one person making a generous donation. The need for blood is constant. But only about 2% of age-eligible people donate blood yearly.

Consider making a donation yourself and make sure that supply meets patient demand.
