Regarding Blood Donations…
  • Every two seconds someone in the US needs a blood transfusion.
  • More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day.
  • Red blood cells need to be used within 42 days of collection.
  • One donation can help save the lives of 3 people.
  • Less than 38% of the US population is eligible to donate blood.
  • All donated blood is tested for HIV, Hepatitis, and other infectious diseases before being sent to hospitals.
  • If you began donating blood at 17 and donated every 56 days until you were 76, you would have donated 48 gallons of blood, potentially helping save over 1,000 lives.

Inspired by TheBecky who is helping to organize a blood drive at her high school. No matter where you are though, if you’re eligible, donate and help save a life!
