The Program

Military members, first responders, and front-line hospital workers are the backbone of our communities.  You understand as individuals and groups that we are all connected to others. We are truly defined by our kindness and service to the people around us. What you do is more than a vocation–it is a calling. You have chosen to extend your service and impact lives by being a blood donor. LifeShare Blood Center created the Challenge Coin Program in recognition of your heroic service.
