This summer, join LifeShare in celebrating the power of community, compassion, and shared humanity during our biggest summer blood drive event of the year. 🩸

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we’re honoring the people who quietly make a difference every day — the donors who step up to help save lives. Blood donation is one of the most meaningful ways we can care for one another, and together, we can make a lifesaving impact across our communities.

From July 1–3, every donation helps ensure local patients receive the blood products they need during one of the toughest times of year for blood collection.

 🎁 Donate July 1–3 & Receive:

  • 👕 A FREE limited-edition Red, White, & YOU t-shirt
  • 💳 A $25 gift card
  • 🏅 A special Summer Lifesaver digital badge on your donor profile

Whether you donate whole blood, red cells, platelets, or plasma, your generosity helps save lives right here at home. ❤️

 

 🩸 Why Your Donation Matters

Summer months are some of the most challenging times for maintaining the blood supply. Vacations ☀️, school breaks 🏖️, and busy schedules often lead to a significant drop in donations — but hospital patients still need blood every single day.

Just one donation can help trauma patients, cancer patients, premature babies, and others facing medical emergencies. When our community comes together, lives are changed.

 

 📍 Where You Can Donate

The United We Give campaign will take place:

  • 🏥 At participating LifeShare donor centers
  • 🚍 On qualifying mobile blood drives throughout the community

 Please note: Donations made in-center at our Baton Rouge donor center are excluded from this promotion.

🤝 Be Part of Something Bigger

This campaign is about more than a t-shirt or a gift card. It’s about neighbors helping neighbors. It’s about showing up when someone else needs us most.

Because together, we change lives. ❤️
