Girl Scouts have the power to change the world. Versiti Blood Center of Illinois works to amplify this change by making a gift towards STEM and community health education.
Empower your families, volunteers, staff, and communities to give blood and earn rewards. Every blood donor makes a 2x impact: saving up to three local lives, and raising money for your council. Plus, the rewards grow as the number of blood donors increase.
How it Works
The First Step is Easy
Joining the challenge is simple. Use the provided materials, or materials you create, to encourage your community to donate blood with Versiti from April 1-31, 2026.
