Abbie S. – Columbus, OH

Abbie S. – Columbus, OH
"I donate as a thank you to all the people that selflessly donated when my dad needed daily platelet transfusions for over a month. I also donate as a way to give the gift of life and my health to those fighting health struggles and dire situations. When a loved one is struggling with their health, the last thing you want to worry about is the availability of blood products to help them recover and keep fighting. I have found that donating platelets has given me a way to make a difference and be a light for someone else in situations where one otherwise feels helpless."e;

Sarah G. Fever Friday Winner

Amy S. – Indianapolis, IN

Amy S. – Indianapolis, IN
“There's so much I could say. I started donating at 16 and simply have donated when and where I could ever since. Additionally, my first job out of college was in a blood bank lab, and I've worked in the tissue donation since 2009, currently working at Indiana Donor Network as their Tissue Services Manager. Blood just happens to be one of my favorite tissues.”

Elizabeth K. – Greenwod, IN

Elizabeth K. – Greenwood, IN

Kenneth W - Mow for Life Winner MI

Kenneth W. – MI
"It gives me redeeming social value." More seriously, I am an attorney, and as such, a lot of people probably don't think much of me. Giving blood is my way of showing that I care for others, and not just those that put money in my pocket.

Lynn W

Lynn W. – Carmel, IN
“I am a retired dialysis nurse, and I did RBC exchanges for sickle cell patients and was always thankful for the blood that I used for patients that I know was only possible from donations. So, I’m returning the favor by donating.”

Dennis H.

Dennis H. – Indianapolis, IN
“I’ve been donating blood for about 40 years now and used to donate just to get out of work when the blood mobile would come to my workplace every two months. After 20 years of donating at work management cut out the blood donor program but I still felt the need to give so I decided to keep donating on my own. I realized I wasn’t donating just to get out of work but instead I may be helping save a life.”

Mark S.

Beth B. Plain City, OH

Jessica R. – Crawfordsville, IN
“I have been donating blood since I was 17 and learned that it can help up to three people per donation. I received a blood transfusion when I was five for a serious injury and it saved my life. It brings me great joy to know that I can do my part to help save lives by donating blood like someone did for me.”

Steven winning a car in the Drive to Save Lives Sweepstakes

Steven H. - Milwaukee, WI

“I donate blood because of my wife. She has type O blood and has been a blood donor long before we began dating. She encouraged me to donate with her and we have been donating for the last twenty years. We both feel that it is a pretty simple way to help people, and we wish that more people would do it.”

Linda winning a car in the Drive to Save Lives Sweepstakes

Linda B. - Carmel, IN

Donate & DIY Sweepstakes
  • Wendy C. – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
    "Since I am a universal donor, I understand how valuable my blood is and I am honored to donate whenever I can."
  • Cindy H. – Fishers, Indiana
    "Donating blood is easy, painless, and just the right thing to do. I’m thankful that my donations are helping someone in need. Every time I donate, I feel thankful that I can give blood and for the staff who’s collecting donations. I also leave feeling hopeful that in some way another person will benefit from it."
  • Joseph B. – Holland, Michigan
    "Since I was old enough, I’ve been donating intermittently as an easy way to help others in need. When my wife’s cousin passed unexpectedly, his parents asked family and friends to donate blood in lieu of flowers or donations. Since then, donating has become a regular part of our family’s routine and we go every eight weeks. I’m grateful to be able to participate in honoring his memory and saving lives."

September Rush in to Donate Sweepstakes
  • Kristin C. – Plainfield, IL
    "I donate because I want to make sure that people who need blood transfusions have access to it. I have the rarest blood type, so I like to think about if I were ever to need a blood transfusion, someone would be kind enough to donate. I’ve also donated plasma and platelets because I know they are important to people with certain health issues."
  • Russell D. – Zionsville, IN "I donate blood because it is quick and easy, and it saves people’s lives."
  • Kenneth S. – Saint Helen, MI "I donate blood because I feel it’s the least I can do to help other people. I feel bad for anyone that needs help and blood can help people in need."
  • Stacie R. – Leesburg, OH "I donate to save lives and provide critical resources for medical treatments, surgeries, and emergencies for those in need."
  • Jennifer P. – Cudahy, WI "I donate blood because I love to help people. Another reason is that I have B- blood and it’s one of the rarest types that is often needed. As a breast cancer survivor who has gone through many surgeries, having blood in case of an emergency is really important."

August Home Entertainment Sweepstakes
  • James C. – Indianapolis, IN
    "Donating platelets is a way to help people in a tough spot. I like to think I’m helping make the world a better place, one donation at a time."
  • Allison W. – Galloway, OH
    "I donate because it’s easy, fast, and convenient to do. I also have one of the more rare blood types. There is only about 2% of the population who have it, so I want to make sure that those people who need it have it available. I like knowing that my donations have benefitted others."
  • John B. – Saint Charles, IL
    "I have donated blood off and on for years throughout my life. I got back into the habit because my son’s friend was diagnosed with leukemia just after graduating high school. I heard he needed blood transfusions as part of his treatment. So I signed up for a local blood drive in my neighborhood. It was a chance to be a hero to someone, even if in just a minor way, and seemed like a pretty good reason to me."

A Year of Streaming Sweepstakes
  • Rebecca C. - Elgin, IL
    "I donate because it's an easy way to care for others. Being a universal and neonatal donor, I love knowing that my blood will quickly be used to help those who need it most!"
