WHAT IS AMPLIFY AUSTIN?
Amplify Austin Day is the biggest online giving event in Central Texas. During a 24-hour period, Amplify ATX provides an easy and fun way for our entire community to band together to support local nonprofits, like yours truly.
WHY SUPPORT WE ARE BLOOD?
We want to inspire, educate, and engage younger generations and those of diverse backgrounds, including communities of color and LGBTQIA+ members.
Our Vein2Vein Program launching in 2024 will help to inform students across Central Texas about the importance of blood donation!
The blood donor community nationwide is aging, and younger generations aren’t as actively engaged in the act of blood donation, potentially making available blood supply inadequate to meet the needs of the growing population in the future. We believe that educating our younger people through our Vein2Vein Program about the value of blood and platelet donations is critical to the goal of increasing the number of lifelong donors.
This year, all funds raised through Amplify Austin will go directly to supporting the Vein2Vein Program, from purchasing needed equipment and supplies, to developing outreach to schools through the Central Texas area! Our goal for 2024 is to raise $30,000 to help support the development and roll out of this educational program. With your help, we can hit that goal!
Your financial support will help us ensure a diverse and constant blood supply for future generations!
