Spread the Word

We Are Blood has drawn Central Texans together since 1951 to provide and protect the community blood supply. Help us inspire people to donate locally and to take pride in this precious shared resource. Together, we can make sure all Central Texans will continue to have access to life-saving blood when they need it.

How can you help? We’re so glad you asked…

Engage with us on social media

Raise Awareness

Spread the word about We Are Blood and the local blood supply by engaging your personal community. You know your friends, families, social networks, business networks, employees, congregations, social sports teams, classmates (we could go on but you get the idea), better than anyone! So think about the best way to engage them in We Are Blood’s mission. Get creative, have fun and save some local lives while doing it.

Here are just a few ideas to get you started:

  • Plan a happy hour event to raise awareness with your coworkers and friends.
  • Create a fun tournament with proceeds benefiting We Are Blood.
  • Invite us to speak at your church group, workout class, or place of business.
  • Create a team and sign up for a marathon or race in benefit of We Are Blood.
  • Have your favorite sports team (and their fans) duel it out by hosting a competitive blood drive.
  • Invite others to take a tour with you of the We Are Blood donation center and lab to see first-hand what happens to your blood donation after it leaves your arm.
  • Follow us on social media and share our posts with your network.
  • Wear your We Are Blood SWAG all around town. Someone asks you where you got it, tell them all about the mission.
