January is National Blood Donor Month

Posted: Dec 30, 2024 | Category: Latest Articles

Every January, National Blood Donor Month brings in the new year with the important message that donating blood saves lives and improves the health and wellbeing of our community. It is also an important time to celebrate the generosity of volunteer donors, like you!

We know that simply saying “thank you” and offering perks for donating doesn’t come close to showing the sincere gratitude we feel for you for helping to provide lifesaving care to local patients, but we hope it makes a difference.

To share our thanks this month, all donors who make a donation between January 2-16 will be entered to win two spots at a private dinner at Franklin Barbecue in February! Plus, those who donate platelets at least twice in January will be able to score their choice of a $50 e-gift card!

What Inspires Your Generosity?

Why stop celebrating after January? To recognize you throughout the year, we would love to hear what motivates you to donate so we can spread the inspiration within our community. 

  • Share your “why” by completing this Microsoft form. Donor quotes that are submitted will be used to create social media graphics. 
  • After your next donation, take a selfie and post your picture on socials, tagging us @WeAreBloodTX. 
  • Want to participate in the We Are Family video series? Email [email protected] to share your inspiring story and be considered as one of our 2025 video testimonials. 

We’ve got such an incredible donor community, and we would literally not be here without you. So, here’s to you this month!
