Lions for Life Leadership Challenge

The Lions and Versiti are challenging Michigan high school teams to host the biggest blood drive this summer.

Accept our challenge and win a $1,000 equipment grant for your team!

Versiti Blood Center of Michigan has partnered with the Detroit Lions to inspire Michigan high school teams to host local blood drives this summer.

In Michigan, 560 lifesaving blood donations are needed each day to meet the needs of Versiti’s 80 partner hospitals across the state. In the summer, donations drop nearly 20 percent – creating a massive need for community support.
