Annually, We Are Blood proudly partners with the Greater Austin YMCA and YMCA of Central Texas to make a lifesaving difference for local patients in need!
Separately, our organizations are focused on creating stronger and healthier communities across Central Texas. Together, we’re dedicated to doing good in the communities we serve, alleviating challenges with the community’s blood supply, and protecting local patients!
During the summer months, We Are Blood often sees a dip in donations along with increased need for blood transfusions causing our community blood supply to struggle. Together, We Are Blood and our regional YMCAs are hosting a series of blood drives at participating Y locations (see full schedule below).
We invite our community to take the ultimate summer challenge – save our summer by donating blood at a YMCA near you.
Schedule your rest day.
This summer, plan to save lives on one of your rest days! Visit the YMCA nearest you to provide a life-saving blood donation and get an exclusive We Are Blood dri-fit t-shirt.
Check out the schedule below for participating locations! Walk-ins are also welcome at all drives. Make your appointment today!
