Summer’s here! School’s out. Many of us travel, take vacations and gather for summer festivities, like backyard barbecues, the Fourth of July, or the Summer Olympics.
During these summer months, We Are Blood often sees a dip in donations and an increased need for blood transfusions causing our community blood supply to struggle. That’s why We Are Blood is partnering with Greater Austin YMCA and YMCA of Central Texas to make a lifesaving difference for local patients in need!
A Golden Opportunity
Together, We Are Blood and our regional YMCAs have scheduled a series of blood drives at participating locations (see full schedule below).
It’s no coincidence that these drives take place during the same dates as the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. As athletes compete for the gold in Paris, France, we invite our community to take the ultimate challenge – save our summer by donating blood at a YMCA near you.
Separately, our organizations are focused on creating stronger and healthier communities throughout Central Texas. Together, we are dedicated to doing good in the communities we serve, alleviating challenges with the community blood supply, and protecting local patients this summer!
Give Blood. Break Sweat. Feel Good.
