Together, we can make a difference in the fight against cancer.

Whether you’re supporting a loved one who’s currently battling cancer, honoring a friend or family member who has overcome cancer, or remembering someone you’ve lost to the disease, donating blood and platelets is a powerful way to fight back and make an impact right here in our community.

Every day, blood transfusions and platelet transfusions help our local cancer warriors battle leukemia and other cancers. Oftentimes, these essential blood products help patients regain and maintain strength during their chemotherapy and radiation treatments and replace any blood that was lost during surgery.

Additionally, when you give the vital gift of blood and platelets, you provide much-needed hope and healing to local families in crisis. Your generous blood donation or platelet donation could be the lifeline someone is waiting for.

Join the movement today.

Platelets are especially powerful - and needed.

Donating platelets is an especially powerful way to make an impact for cancer patients, and just a few hours of your time can make a lifetime of difference for families.

Because chemotherapy treatments and/or certain blood cancers (like leukemia) can cause low platelet counts, platelet transfusions are often needed for a patient to return to health. Further, because donated platelets only live 5-7 days outside the body, there’s always a need for new platelet donors.

Ready to fight cancer?

Take action today. We encourage you to become a first-time blood donor, come back as a recurring blood donor, or increase your involvement and expand your impact as a platelet donor.

Share your story

After you’ve donated your cancer-fighting blood and platelets in honor of a loved one, we encourage you to share your story on social media to inspire others in your community to stand up and donate, too.
